Chase v. Warden, Md. House of Correction, 98
| Citation | 216 Md. 627,139 A.2d 508 |
| Decision Date | 21 March 1958 |
| Docket Number | No. 98,98 |
| Parties | Edgar A. CHASE v. WARDEN, MARYLAND HOUSE OF CORRECTION. Application |
| Court | Court of Appeals of Maryland |
Before BRUNE, C. J., and HENDERSON, HAMMOND, PRESCOTT and HORNEY, JJ.
The petitioner's sole contention in this application for leave to appeal from the denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus is that he is entitled to have time spent by him on parole credited to his original sentence. Whether a person returned to custody for violation of parole is to receive such credit is a matter resting in the discretion of the Board of Parole and Probation. Article 41, section 115, Code (1957). A failure of the Board to exercise its discretion so as to grant credit does not deprive the petitioner of any constitutional right, even if we assume, without deciding, that such a question could be raised on habeas corpus. Clark v. Warden, 213 Md. 641, 642, 131 A.2d 396.
Application denied, with costs.
