General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Petitioner was tried and convicted for conspiracy to violate the Smith Act, but the conviction was reversed by this Court. 354 U.S. 298. For contempts and other subsidiary matters in the course of these proceedings, petitioner served over seven months’ imprisonment on the basis of actions by the District Court, several of which were set aside on appeal. One contempt action resulted in petitioner’s conviction for eleven contempts, and she was sentenced to eleven concurrent terms of one year’s imprisonment. Finding that there was only one contempt, this Court remanded the case to the District Court for appropriate resentencing. 355 U.S. 66. The District Court resentenced petitioner to imprisonment for one year for the single contempt.
Held: certiorari granted, judgment vacated, and cause remanded to the District Court with directions to reduce the sentence to the time petitioner has already been confined in the course of these proceedings. Pp. 363-367.
252 F. 2d 568, judgment vacated and cause remanded to District Court with directions.
