Commonwealth Ex Rel. Sherman v. Burke

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Decided January 5, 1950No. 269, Miscellaneous Docket, 9PublishedCited by 7 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Opinion

per Curiam,

On the showing made by the petitioner, the question involved is whether he is now eligible for parole. A petition for a writ of habeas corpus is not the proper procedure for obtaining an adjudication of the petitioner’s alleged rights in the premises: cf. Kinsella v. Board of Trustees, 340 Pa. 497, 498, 17 A. 2d 882.

Petition denied.
