No. 11960
161 F.2d 556 Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (1947) Positive Treatment
Cited by 11 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The record leaves in no doubt that appellant’s petition attacks the judgment under which he was convicted and is serving sentence not upon jurisdictional grounds but upon the ground that the evidence upon which it was rendered did not support it. A writ of habeas corpus cannot try the sufficiency of the evidence to support a judgment of conviction. The district judge was right in dismissing the application. His judgment is affirmed.
