DANAHER, Circuit Judge.
Appellant filed in the District Court his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Upon consideration of a return pursuant to a rule to show cause, the District Court denied the petition, and we allowed this appeal in forma pauperis. We limited our consideration to the single issue "of whether petitioner's detention in the District of Columbia jail is illegal by reason of an illegal transfer from the Eastern District of Virginia."
