U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, 1947

McGahee v. United States

McGahee v. United States
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided October 24, 1947
163 F.2d 875; 1947 U.S. App. LEXIS 2348 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

McGahee v. United States

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

It will serve no useful purpose to set out the facts of the case or to canvass appellant’s contentions with respect to them, for it is quite plain that appellant had not exhausted his administrative remedies and was not entitled to interpose the defense of wrongful classification, Falbo v. United States, 320 U.S. 549, 64 S.Ct. 346, 88 L.Ed. 305. United States v. Balogh, 2 Cir., 160 F.2d 999, is a case directly in point. In addition, if we should hold that he had put himself in a position to make the defense, it is quite plain, under Lemien v. United States, 5 Cir., 158 F.2d 550, and Wells v. United States, 5 Cir., 158 F.2d 932, that none of his points are well taken.

The judgment appealed from is affirmed.
