Cardigan v. Biddle
Opinion of the Court
This cause comes up on appeal from the District Court of the United States for the District of Kan
Appellant thereafter filed in the District Court for the District of Kansas his petition for writ of habeas corpus, challenging the validity of the judgment and sentence under which he is confined. We do not deem it necessary here to review all of the contentions of appellant, for the reason that an identical proceeding was prosecuted by James A. Cardigan, presenting substantially the same issues and questions, and that proceeding came to this court and was docketed as No. 6978, and decided at the December term, 1925. In our opinion, the decision in that case rules and is conclusive of every, substantial question now raised in this case. The opinion in No. 6978 is found in 10 F.(2d) 444. Any variations in the angle from which the questions ruled on in the James A. Cardigan Case were considered are, we think, merely verbal and without substance. We think the District Court ruled correctly in dismissing the application for the writ of habeas corpus, and that the order of the District Court should be and is affirmed.
