Description
This is an original proceeding for a writ in the nature of mandamus. We issued a rule to show cause why the relief requested should not be granted and the respondent court answered. We now discharge the rule. Petitioner brought this proceeding to compel the district court to provide him with free transcripts of two preliminary hearings. Petitioner was charged with the crime of rape. On February 14, 1975 a preliminary hearing was held in the county court. That court found no probable cause and dismissed the charge. On March 3, 1975, the district attorney filed rape charges directly in the district court. A second preliminary hearing was held and this time the district judge found probable cause. Petitioner then requested that he be provided with free transcripts of the two preliminary hearings. This motion was twice denied by the chief district judge.
