1Opinion of the Court
FERGUSON, Circuit Judge:
The State of California appeals the district court’s order granting petitions for writ of habeas corpus and releasing Henry Morgan and Stephen Swanson from the constructive custody of the Municipal Court of Los Angeles prior to their criminal trial on various misdemeanor offenses. The state contends on appeal that the district court abused its discretion in issuing the writs because material factual disputes concerning the state charges should only have been resolved by state trial. We agree and reverse the district court.
