Berman v. Swenson

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit

177 F.2d 717 (4th Cir. 1949)

Opinion

No. 5968.

Argued November 7, 1949.

Decided November 8, 1949. Writ of Certiorari Denied January 16, 1950. See 70 S.Ct. 425.

Louis Berman, pro se.

Kenneth C. Proctor, Assistant Attorney General of Maryland (Hall Hammond, Attorney General of Maryland, on the brief), for appellee.

Before PARKER, Chief Judge, and SOPER and DOBIE, Circuit Judges.


This is an appeal from an order refusing to issue a writ of habeas corpus on the application of a prisoner incarcerated under the judgment of a Maryland State Court. Although it appears that the prisoner has made application to many Maryland judges which have been denied, it does not appear that he has exhausted his remedies under the state law. The application was, therefore, properly denied, 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254. It appears, also, that there is no certificate of probable cause as required by statute. 28 U.S.C.A. § 2253. The appeal must therefore be dismissed. Edmondson v. Swenson, Warden, 4 Cir., 165 F.2d 432.

Appeal dismissed.
