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.
Bennett v. Hogan, 414 U.S. 12 (1973)
Bennett v. Hogan No. 72-6449 Decided October 23, 1973 414 U.S. 12
ON MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE PETITION
FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
Syllabus
Since the Court of Appeals was apparently unaware of the indigent petitioner’s initial request for appointment of counsel to represent him on appeal from a conviction, and mistakenly believed that he had never filed a financial affidavit with the trial court, petitioner’s habeas corpus application, brought to this Court after the Court of Appeals had dismissed his appeal, is treated as a petition for certiorari, which is granted, and the case is remanded to the Court of Appeals to determine whether the appeal had been improvidently dismissed.
Certiorari granted; vacated and remanded.
