Abstract. Fix integers $r, g$ such that $r\ge 4$ and $g\ge r+1$. Let $C\subset \mathbb {P}^r$ be a general smooth curve with genus $g$, degree $g+r$ and $h^1(C,\mathcal {O}_C(1))=1$ (such a curve is not linearly normal). In this paper we prove that $C$ has maximal rank, i.e. $h^0(\mathcal {I}_C(t))\cdot h^1(\mathcal {I}_C(t)) =0$ for all $t\in \mathbb {N}$.
