Walter E. Craven, Warden, Folsom State Prison v. Billy Norman Grimm
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided July 2, 1969 · Browning, Ely, Carter
412 F.2d 230; 1969 U.S. App. LEXIS 11652 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Walter E. Craven, Warden, Folsom State Prison v. Billy Norman Grimm

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The appellee is a California state prisoner. After he exhausted his state remedies, he filed a petition for habeas corpus in the District Court. 28 U.S.C. § 2241. An evidentiary hearing was conducted. The district judge resolved the factual inquiry in favor of the appellee, and the state appeals.

We are not persuaded that we should reverse. District Judge Zirpoli carefully explained the basis of his conclusion that the state conviction was grounded upon evidence obtained in a federally impermissible manner. The conclusion is supported by factual determinations and we cannot, on the record, hold that the determinations were clearly erroneous.

Affirmed.
