Brennan v. Warden of Maryland House of Correction
Brennan v. Warden of Maryland House of Correction
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the Court.
Donald L. Brennan, a prisoner in the Maryland House of Correction, has applied here for leave to appeal from refusal of a writ of habeas corpus.
Petitioner alleges that on July 13, 1950, he was found guilty by a trial magistrate for Prince George’s County
Petitioner contends that the trial magistrate had no right to make the sentences run consecutively. As Judge Tucker, who refused to issue the writ, pointed out, even if it be assumed that the two former sentences run concurrently with the latter two, nevertheless the latter two will not terminate until nine months after the beginning of the imprisonment in September, 1950,. i.e., in June, 1951.
As petitioner has not shown that he is illegally imprisoned, his application must be denied.
Application denied, with costs.
