JAMES EDWARD FLEMINGS, APPELLANT,
v.
LAWRENCE E. WILSON, WARDEN, CALIFORNIA STATE PRISON, SAN QUENTIN, CALIFORNIA, ET AL., APPELLEES

9th Cir. | 1966-06-30
No. 20478
Before MERRILL, BROWNING and DUNIWAY, Circuit Judges.
365 F.2d 267 United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (1966) Positive Treatment
Cited by 12 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM:

PER CURIAM:

We agree with the District Court that of the grounds upon which appellant relies in seeking discharge in habeas corpus the only one presenting a Constitutional issue is his contention that an incriminating statement was used against him contrary to Escobedo v. State of Illinois, 378 U.S. 478, 84 S.Ct. 1758, 12 L.Ed.2d 977 (1964) and that the rule of that case should be retroactively applied to his trial. Johnson v. New Jersey, 384 U.S. 719, 86 S.Ct. 1772, 16 L.Ed.2d 882 (1966) disposes of this contention.

We do not consider those grounds for relief which appellant asserted for the first time in his notice of appeal and in his briefs filed in this court. We may properly consider “factual assertions” appearing in such papers which “clarify and particularize” allegations in a petition for habeas corpus (Wright v. Dickson, 336 F. 2d 878, 881, n. 2 (9th Cir. 1964), but it would not be appropriate for us to pass upon independent grounds for relief which were not submitted to the District Court, and which, indeed, may not have been submitted to the state courts.

Judgment affirmed.
