No. 16313.

298 F.2d 306 (1961)

Joseph A. BOLDEN, Jr., Appellant, v. Donald C. CLEMMER et al., Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals District of Columbia Circuit.

Decided November 9, 1961.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. Harold Leventhal, Washington, D. C. (appointed by this court) for appellant.

Mr. Ted D. Kuemmerling, Asst. Corporation Counsel for the District of Columbia, with whom Messrs. Chester H. Gray, Corporation Counsel, Milton D. Korman, Principal Asst. Corporation Counsel, and Hubert B. Pair, Asst. Corporation Counsel, were on the brief for appellees.

Before PRETTYMAN, FAHY and DANAHER, Circuit Judges.


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."
