No. 251.

January 23, 1933.

Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York.

Habeas corpus proceedings by the United States, on the relation of Chung Yuen Poy, against Edward Corsi, Commissioner of Immigration at the Port of New York, to test an order of exclusion issued against the relator. From an order ( 2 F. Supp. 260) dismissing the writ, the relator appeals.

Affirmed.

John M. Lyons, of New York City (David V. Cahill, of New York City, of counsel), for appellant.

George Z. Medalie, U.S. Atty., of New York City (Ira Koenig, Asst. U.S. Atty., of New York City, of counsel), for appellee.

Before MANTON, AUGUSTUS N. HAND, and CHASE, Circuit Judges.


This writ of habeas corpus was sued out testing the order of exclusion of the relator, a Chinese person, who is an applicant for admission to the United States. He was excluded by the Board of Special Inquiry because of discrepancies in the evidence which satisfied the Board and the Department of Labor that he was not the son of a deceased United States citizen, as claimed, and therefore was not within the exempt classes prescribed by the Immigration Act of May 26, 1924 (8 USCA §§ 145, 146, 166, 167, 179, 201-226, 229). The conclusion of the Board of Special Inquiry, in view of the discrepancies established, is binding upon us, and the appellant has had a fair hearing. The decision below was not reached arbitrarily. United States v. Ju Toy, 198 U.S. 253, 25 S. Ct. 644, 49 L. Ed. 1040; Tang Tun v. Edsell, 223 U.S. 673, 32 S. Ct. 359, 56 L. Ed. 606; United States ex rel. Fong Lung Sing v. Day, 37 F.2d 36 (C.C.A. 2); United States ex rel. Fong On v. Day, 54 F.2d 990 (C.C.A. 2).

Order affirmed.
