Acting as his own lawyer, 1 the respondent Shirley Collins brought this habeas corpus case in a United States District Court seeking release from á Michigan state prison where he is serving a life sentence for murder. His petition alleges that while he was living in Chicago, Michigan officers forcibly seized, handcuffed, blackjacked and took him to Michigan. He claims that trial and conviction under such circumstances is in violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Federal Kidnaping Act, 2 and that therefore his conviction is a nullity.
