Rogers v. Richmond
Supreme Court of the United States · Decided June 16, 1958 · Per Curiam
357 U.S. 220; 78 S. Ct. 1365; 2 L. Ed. 2d 1361; 1958 U.S. LEXIS 824 (United States Reports)

Rogers v. Richmond

Opinion

Per Curiam.

The petition for writ of certiorari is denied. We read the opinion of the Court of Appeals as holding that while the District Judge may, unless he finds a vital flaw in the State Court proceedings, accept the determination in such proceedings, he need not deem such determination binding, and may take testimony. See Brown v. Allen, 344 U. S. 443, 506, et seq.
