    This document summarizes a court case from 1970 in which Richard Earl Sampson appealed his conviction for refusing to perform hospital work after being classified as a conscientious objector. The summary states that Sampson claimed he was improperly denied ministerial status. The court did not address Sampson's argument about being denied right to counsel before the draft board. The court ruled that the case was controlled by an earlier 1969 case, and the conviction was reversed.

    422 F.

    2d 1333

    UNITED STATES of America, Appellee,


    v.
    Richard Earl SAMPSON, Appellant.
    No. 13670.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Argued March 4, 1970.
    Decided March 12, 1970.

    Appeal from a Judgment of the United States District Court for the
    Northern District of West Virginia, at Elkins; Robert Earl Maxwell,
    Judge.
    J. Fred Queen, Elkins, W. Va. (Courtappointed counsel), for appellant.
    Paul C. Camilletti, U. S. Atty. (Thomas M. McCulloch, Asst. U. S. Atty.,
    on the brief), for appellee.
    Before SOBELOFF, BRYAN and CRAVEN, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    This is an appeal from a conviction for refusing to perform hospital work after
    being classified I-O. Appellant claims he was improperly denied ministerial
    status.

    We do not reach the question of denial of right to counsel urged upon us by


    appellant on the theory that appearance before the draft board is a critical stage
    in the criminal process.

    We think the appeal is controlled by United States v. Bittinger, 422 F.2d 1032
    (4th Cir. No. 13,317, decided December 24, 1969).

    Reversed.
