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.
Boone v. Lightner, 319 U.S. 561 (1943)
Boone v. Lightner No. 698 Argued May 3, 4, 1943 Decided June 7, 1943 319 U.S. 561
CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF NORTH CAROLINA
Syllabus
Section 201 of the Soldiers’ and Sailors; Civil Relief Act of 1940, providing for stays in court proceedings involving persons in military service, addresses to the discretion of the court the question whether "the ability of . . . the defendant to conduct his defense is not materially affected by reason of his military service." In the circumstances of this case, denial of a stay at the instance of a defendant in military service was not an abuse of that discretion. Pp. 565, 572.
222 N.C. 205, 22 S.E. 426, affirmed.
Certiorari, 318 U.S. 750, to review the affirmance of a judgment against a defendant who, during the time of the proceeding, was in the military service.
