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.
Fisher v. Baker, 203 U.S. 174 (1906)
Fisher v. Baker No. 214 Argued October 9, 10, 1906 Decided December 3, 1906 203 U.S. 174
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Syllabus
When an application on habeas corpus is denied because the writ had been suspended, and thereafter, and before appeal taken is allowed, the suspension is revoked, the question of power of the authorities to suspend the writ becomes a moot one not calling for determination by this Court.
A proceeding in habeas corpus is a civil, and not a criminal, proceeding, and as final orders of circuit or district courts of the United States in such a proceeding can only be reviewed in this Court by appeal, under § 10 of the Act of July 1, 1902, 32 Stat. 1369, a final order of the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands in habeas corpus is governed by the same rules, and can only be reviewed by appeal, and not by writ of error.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
