In re Giruado

California Court of Appeal

Decided May 25, 1931No. Crim. No. 215Published

1Opinion of the CourtJennings, J.

On the hearing of this matter it was stipulated by counsel that the petitioner was tried in the Justice’s Court of Calexico township for the commission of an offense in another township in Imperial County. Petitioner contends that the judgment of conviction is void by reason of want of jurisdiction. This contention is obviously correct and amply sustained by the authorities. (Antilla v. Justice's Court, 209 Cal. 621 [290 Pac. 43]; In re Bridwell, 112 Cal. App. 19 [296 Pac. 312]; In re Cohen, 107 Cal. App. 288 [290 Pac. 512].)

*349The writ is granted and petitioner is discharged from custody.
