Leo Glasser granted a writ of error coram nobis in the interests of justice, to prevent continuing legal consequences from petitioner’s conviction. Judge Sterling Johnson Jr., holding that the federal courts cannot grant a New York State Certificate of Relief from Civil Disabilities, suggested steps for petitioner to gain the requested relief in state Supreme Court.
