U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided June 15, 1971 · Chambers, Hamley, Merrill, Per Curiam
444 F.2d 530; 1971 U.S. App. LEXIS 9583 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Louis Ortega v. A. Boyd Puccinelli

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The dismissal of appellant’s “Petition for a Writ of Prohibition” against a bail bondsman is affirmed.

Under 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), a writ of prohibition may issue only in aid of the jurisdiction of the issuing court. Stafford v. Superior Court, 272 F.2d 407, 409 (9th Cir. 1959). Appellant’s petition does not assert any underlying action concerning which the district court would have jurisdiction.
