Spaulding v. Sanford

Circuit Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit
May 9, 1944
142 F.2d 444 (5th Cir. 1944)

Opinion

No. 10966.

May 9, 1944.

Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Northern District of Georgia; E. Marvin Underwood, Judge.

Habeas corpus proceeding by John O. Spaulding against Joseph W. Sanford, Warden, United States Penitentiary, Atlanta, Ga. From an adverse judgment, John O. Spaulding appeals.

Affirmed.

John O. Spaulding in pro. per.

M. Neil Andrews, U.S. Atty., and Harvey H. Tisinger, Asst. U.S. Atty., both of Atlanta, Ga., for appellee.

Before SIBLEY, McCORD, and LEE, Circuit Judges.


Spaulding in his trial attacked the sufficiency of each count of the indictment and was overruled, United States v. Spaulding, D.C., 16 F. Supp. 407, and the judgment was affirmed by the Circuit Court of Appeals. Spaulding v. United States, 6 Cir., 96 F.2d 734. The propriety of his conviction and sentence is res judicata. The question of whether service of his sentence began at once or was suspended during his appeal is not now for decision on habeas corpus, since in neither event would he be entitled presently to release. McNally v. Hill, Warden, 293 U.S. 131, 55 S.Ct. 24, 79 L.Ed. 238.

Judgment affirmed.
