Morrow v. Tillinghast

U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit · Decided October 17, 1929

35 F.2d 183; 1929 U.S. App. LEXIS 2935 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Counsel

James H. Kenney, of Boston, Mass., for appellant., John W. Sehenek, Asst. U. S. Atty., of Boston, Mass. (Frederick H. Tarr, U. S. Atty., of Boston, Mass., on the brief), for appellee.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

In the District Court for Massachusetts the appellant’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus was denied for want of jurisdiction. The immigration authorities found that at the time of her entry into the United States the appellant was mentally deficient; that her mental impairment was such as then to render her liable to become a public charge; and ordered her deported. There was substantial evidence to warrant these findings. They are therefore final..

Appeal dismissed.
