80 F.2d 388 | 9th Cir. | 1935
The petition for leave to appeal is denied.
The statute regulating appeals from decisions in habeas corpus proceedings provides that such appeals shall only be allowed where the judge allowing it certifies that there is probable cause for the allowance. 28 U.S.C.A. § 466. No showing has been made which would justify such a certificate, and no claim is made that such a showing has been made.
The petitioner claims that he is entitled to appeal from the order denying him a writ of habeas corpus cum causa as a matter of right and that the allowance of the appeal is pro forma. This contention is predicated upon the statement that the writ applied for is something entirely different and distinct from the ordinary writ of habeas corpus — so distinct, in fact, that the statute regulating appeals in habeas corpus matters does not apply. On this assumption, however, the petitioner cites no statute or decision holding that such an order is appealable.
The decision relied upon by the petitioner in that regard is a recent decision by the Circuit Court of Appeals of the First Circuit, Millen v. Capen, 74 F.(2d) 342. That decision does not hold that the order denying the writ of habeas corpus cum causa is appealable on any theory other than the denial of writ of habeas corpus. Petitioner’s contention may be summarized as follows: That upon filing with the superior court in and for the county of Santa Clara, state of California, a verified petition pur
In Stommel v. Timbrel, 84 Iowa, 336, 51 N.W. 159, 160, the court states with reference to similar application: “The law is that a state court does not lose jurisdiction by the filing of a petition for removal, unless the petition shows upon its face that the case is removable. ‘The state court is not required to let go its jurisdiction until a case is made which upon its face shows that the petitioner can remove as a matter of right.’ ” See, also, State v. Sullivan, 110 N.C. 513, 14 S.E. 796.
In Ex parte State of Alabama, 71 Ala. 363, the Supreme Court of that state had occasion to consider this removal statute in question here, and stated as follows: “The jurisdiction of the State court is not ousted by a mere application for the removal of a civil cause, or of a criminal prosecution to a Federal court. It is only when the application is in proper form, conforms to the act of Congress authorizing the removal, stating facts bringing the case within the provisions of the act, that it becomes the duty of the State court to yield obedience to the paramount law, and to cease the exercise of its original jurisdiction. It may err either in determining teat the application presents a case in which it ought, or ought not to cease its original jurisdiction; the determination is subject to the jurisdiction and sentence of the Federal court, when the case finds its way into that court. The Federal court must determine its own jurisdiction, and whatever it may determine is the law of the court of the State.”
