Opinion
November 14, 1944.
Habeas corpus proceeding by Albert R. House against Nathan Mayo, State Prison Custodian. From an adverse decision, the petitioner appeals. On petition for allowance of appeal in forma pauperis.
Petition denied.
The order was reversed by the Supreme Court, 65 S.Ct. 517.
There were no appearances in the case.
Before HUTCHESON, WALLER and LEE, Circuit Judges.
The petition is for leave to appeal as a poor person under Sec. 832, Title 28 U.S.C.A. The appeal is from a "final decision by a court of the United States in a proceeding in habeas corpus where the detention complained of is by virtue of process issued out of a State court". Under the provisions of Sec. 466, Title 28 U.S.C.A., a certificate of probable cause is a jurisdictional prerequisite to such an appeal. Millslagle v. Olson, 8 Cir., 130 F.2d 212; Genna v. Frazier, 5 Cir., 24 F.2d 706. Plaintiff does not present such certificate, but, on the contrary, there appears in the record a finding and order of the district judge that no probable cause exists. The petition is denied.
