Supreme Court of United States.

Decided April 21, 1981.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Daniel Jesse Smith argued the cause for petitioner. With him on the briefs was Stephen D. Neely.

James D. Whitney argued the cause and filed a brief for respondent.*


JUSTICE BLACKMUN delivered the opinion of the Court.

Respondent, a federal officer, was charged in Arizona with the commission of a state crime. On the officer's motion, the case was removed from state court and tried in federal court. The issue presented is whether a federal appellate court has jurisdiction to entertain Arizona's appeal from the District Court's judgment of acquittal entered after a jury verdict of guilty.
