U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Woodrow B. Bradley v. Orel J. Skeen, Warden, West Virginia State Penitentiary, Moundsville, West Virginia, 222 F.2d 716 (4th Cir. 1955)
1955 U.S. App. LEXIS 3872
Per Curiam
Woodrow B. Bradley v. Orel J. Skeen, Warden, West Virginia State Penitentiary, Moundsville, West Virginia
Opinion
This is an appeal from an order dismissing a petition for a writ of habeas corpus by a prisoner serving a sentence under the judgment of a state court. See Bradley v. Skeen, D.C., 125 F.Supp. 844. We have no jurisdiction to entertain the appeal because of the failure of appellant to obtain the certificate of probable cause required by 28 U.S.C. § 2253. For reasons adequately stated in the opinion of the judge below we do not think appellant is entitled to such certificate.
Appeal dismissed.
