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.

Oliver American Trading Company, Inc. v. Mexico No. 662 Argued March 13, 1924 Decided April 7, 1924 264 U.S. 440
ERROR TO THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
Syllabus
1. On a jurisdictional review under Jud.Code § 238, the district judge’s certificate of a jurisdictional question does not relieve this Court of the duty of determining for itself whether the question certified is one of the jurisdiction of the lower court as a federal court. P. 442.
2. Where an attachment suit in New York against the government of Mexico was removed to the district court and dismissed for lack of jurisdiction upon the ground of sovereign immunity, held that a writ of error from this Court would not lie under§ 238, since the question was one of general law, applicable to state and federal courts alike, and that the case should be transferred to the circuit court of appeals under Jud.Code, § 238(a). P. 442.
Case transferred to circuit court of appeals.
Error to a Judgment of the district court dismissing, for want of jurisdiction, an action by attachment against the government of Mexico, removed from a court of New York.
