Milan M. Vuitch, M. D. v. James Brown Hardy, Acting Warden of the Maryland Penitentiary, 473 F.2d 1370 (4th Cir. 1973)
1973 U.S. App. LEXIS 11540

Milan M. Vuitch, M. D. v. James Brown Hardy, Acting Warden of the Maryland Penitentiary

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The district court held that petitioner had exhausted his available state remedies prior to filing an application for a writ of habeas corpus and that the writ should issue because the Maryland Therapeutic Abortion Act, 4B Ann.Code of Maryland, Art. 43, §§ 137 et seq. (1971 Repl. Vol.), under which petitioner was convicted, was unconstitutional, be *1371 cause of the limitations which it placed upon the performance of an abortion. We agree that petitioner had exhausted his available state remedies. Subsequent to the argument before us, the Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade, - U.S. -, 93 S.Ct. 705, 35 L.Ed.2d 147 (1973) and Doe v. Bolton,-U.S. — , 93 S.Ct. 739, 35 L.Ed.2d 201 (1973). These cases make clear that the district court correctly decided the case, and we affirm on their authority.

Affirmed.
