Parties | NEWMAN v. UNITED STATES. |
Court | U.S. Court of Appeals — District of Columbia Circuit |
James Edward Howard Newman, pro se.
George Morris Fay, U. S. Atty., and Joseph M. Howard, Asst. U. S. Atty., Washington, D. C., for the United States.
Before FAHY, WASHINGTON and BAZELON, Circuit Judges.
Writ of Certiorari Denied January 15, 1951. See 71 S.Ct. 352.
We have before us a petition for reconsideration of an order of this court denying leave to appeal in forma pauperis.
Petitioner, James Newman, on January 24, 1947, was sentenced in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia to imprisonment for five to fifteen years upon his plea of guilty to charges of housebreaking and larceny. On March 29, 1949, the District Court denied Newman's motion to vacate sentence, under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255,1 in which he alleged, inter alia, that his arrest had been illegal, and that a confession given by him was inadmissible because given while he was held without being taken before a committing officer. The trial court denied the motion to vacate, and subsequently denied leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis, certifying that the appeal was not taken in good faith. A later petition for leave to proceed in forma pauperis addressed to this court was denied by us. The instant petition seeks reconsideration of that order.
1 62 Stat. 967, as amended.
