Opinion

No. 38466.

November 17, 1965.

Appeal from Criminal District Court No. 4, Dallas County; John Mead, judge.

Andrew Patton, John W. Chandler, Dallas, for appellant.

Henry Wade, Dist. Atty., Ben Ellis, W. John Allison, Jr., Asst. Dist. Attys., Dallas, and Leon B. Douglas, State's Atty., Austin, for the State.


Appellant, relator in the court below, was arrested and taken into custody by virtue of the executive warrant of the Governor of this State, issued upon the requisition of the Governor of the State of New Mexico, where appellant and others allegedly 'did knowingly combine with each other for the purpose of committing a felony, to-wit, defrauding.'

Appellant challenged the legality of his arrest and subsequent restraint by writ of habeas corpus before the Judge of the Criminal District Court No. 4 of Dallas County who, after a hearing, denied relief and remanded appellant to the custody of the sheriff of Dallas County to be delivered to the proper receiving agents of the State of New Mexico. From that order appellant gave notice of appeal.

Our disposition of this case is controlled by our decision this day handed down in Ex parte Brunner, 396 S.W.2d 125. We adopt herein the opinion in Brunner, supra, as our opinion in this case.

The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
