Carroll v. Peppersack

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

This is another appeal from an order denying a petition for a writ of habeas corpus by a prisoner imprisoned under the judgment and sentence of a state court. An appeal by the same prisoner from the dismissal of a prior application was before us in Caroll v. Swenson, Warden, 4 Cir., 180 F.2d 579. The petition appears to be entirely without merit and no certificate of probable cause as a prerequisite to the right to prosecute the appeal has been obtained, as required by 28 U.S.C. § 2253. The appeal will accordingly be dismissed.

Appeal dismissed.
