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.
Sharpe v. Buchanan, 317 U.S. 238 (1942)
Sharpe v. Buchanan No. 525 Decided December 14, 1942 317 U.S. 238
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE
CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Where a judgment of the Circuit Court of Appeals affirming the District Court’s refusal of habeas corpus was upon the sole ground that the applicant, who was confined in a state penitentiary, had not applied for habeas corpus to the state courts, this Court vacated the judgment because, after the filing of the petition for certiorari here, habeas corpus had been expressly refused by the State’s highest court. P. 238.
121 F.2d 448 vacated.
Petition for writ of certiorari to review the affirmance of a judgment denying habeas corpus, 36 F.Supp. 386.
