Clois Eaton v. Dr. George J. Beto, Director, Texas Department of Corrections
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided December 27, 1966 · Jones, Wisdom, Goldberg
368 F.2d 839 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Clois Eaton v. Dr. George J. Beto, Director, Texas Department of Corrections

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The appellant was denied habeas corpus relief from a state court conviction and has appealed. It appears that the appellant is presently serving under a sentence of a different conviction than that from which he seeks relief. It follows, therefore, that there was and is no jurisdiction to consider the petition. The order of the district court will be affirmed without prejudice to the right to seek the relief sought at such time as it would be effective if granted.

Affirmed.
