Opinion
No. 22849.
Delivered March 15, 1944.
Habeas Corpus — "Final Judgment."
Order entered in proceeding in habeas corpus which was nothing more than a refusal to issue the writ, held not such a final judgment as would authorize an appeal to the Court of Criminal Appeals.
Appeal from District Court of Upshur County. Hon. Otis T. Dunagan, Judge.
Appeal by relator from an order refusing to issue writ of habeas corpus.
Appeal dismissed.
The opinion states the case.
Mat Davis, of Gilmer, for appellant.
Ernest S. Goens, State's Attorney, of Austin, for the State.
This is a habeas corpus proceeding. The disposition made thereof in the trial court, as shown by the judgment entered, is as follows:
"It is, therefore, Ordered and Adjudged that the application of the Petitioner, Jim Wade, herein be denied and issuance of writ as applied for refused; to which action and judgment of the Court the Petitioner then and there in open court excepted and gave notice of appeal to the Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas, at Austin, Texas." Such order is nothing more nor less than a refusal to issue the writ of habeas corpus, and is not such a final judgment as will authorize an appeal to this court. Ex parte Noble, 176 S.W.2d 951.
The appeal is dismissed.
The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the Judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the Court.
