General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Shapiro v. United States, 235 U.S. 412 (1914)
Shapiro v. United States No. 93 Argued December 3, 4, 1914 Decided December 14, 1914 235 U.S. 412
ERROR TO THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
Syllabus
In a case remanded to it by the circuit court of appeals, the district court must apply the principles laid down in the decision for its guidance, and if the mandate required it to reject a plea of nolo contendere on the only counts on which the government stood and to proceed with the case, it must, in obedience to the mandate, set aside the plea.
This Court cannot reverse the ruling of the circuit court of appeals upon a writ of error to the district court which acted upon the mandate even though new constitutional questions were raised in the district court after the case had been remanded. Union Trust Co. v. Westhus, 228 U.S. 519.
This Court cannot take a case in fragments and, if reviewable on direct writ of error, by reason of the presence of a constitutional question, the whole case must come here.
There is ample opportunity for a review by this Court of every judgment or decree of a lower court contemplated by the Act of 1891 (now embodied in the Judicial Code), but, in the distribution of jurisdiction, this Court is not authorized to review a judgment or decree of the circuit court of appeals otherwise than by proceedings addressed to that court. Brown v. Alton Water Co., 222 U.S. 325.
The facts, which involve the jurisdiction of this Court to directly review the judgment of the district court in a case in which that court acted in accordance with the mandate of the circuit court of appeals, are stated in the opinion.
