Legal Opinion

Peter Brent Zauner v. Hoyt C. Cupp, Warden

Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

Decided December 24, 1970No. 24835_1Published

1Per curiam

Zauner appeals from the district court’s denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. We have assumed jurisdiction under Rule 22(b) of the F.R.App.Proc. and affirm.

Appellant committed a felony murder at age 16 and was convicted. He complains that Oregon law required the juvenile court to determine first that he committed the offense before remanding him to the state trial court for trial. The Oregon Supreme Court has held otherwise.

We affirm for the reasons stated in the district court’s opinion. Zauner v. Cupp, Warden, 320 F.Supp. 333 (D.C.Or.1969).
