Robert G. Lemaster v. O. B. Ellis, General Manager, Texas Prison System
217 F.2d 302; 1954 U.S. App. LEXIS 3113
(Federal Reporter, Second Series)
Robert G. Lemaster v. O. B. Ellis, General Manager, Texas Prison System
Opinion
This is an attempt to appeal from an order refusing to issue the writ of habe-as corpus as prayed for by a prisoner seeking release from State custody where he is held pursuant to State process. The district judge permitted the appeal in forma pauperis, but declined to issue a certificate of probable cause.
*303 Upon our examination of the record to determine whether such a certificate should be issued and the appeal allowed, we find that the contentions made are without merit. We, therefore, decline to issue a certificate of probable cause, and accordingly dismiss the appeal.
Dismissed.
