Chase v. Warden of Maryland House of Correction
Supreme Court of Maryland
Chase v. Warden of Maryland House of Correction, 216 Md. 627 (Md. 1958)
139 A.2d 508
Chase v. Warden of Maryland House of Correction
Opinion of the Court
The petitioner’s sole contention in this application for leave to appeal from the denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus is that he is entitled to have time spent by him on parole credited to his original sentence. Whether a person returned to custody for violation of parole is to receive such credit is a matter resting in the discretion of the Board of Parole and Probation. Article 41, section 115, Code (1957). A failure of the Board to exercise its discretion so as to grant credit does not deprive the petitioner of any constitutional
Application denied, with costs.
