The following excerpt is from United States ex rel. Turpin v. Warden of Green Haven Prison, 190 F.2d 252 (2nd Cir. 1951):
1 A prior order denying the relator's petition for a writ of habeas corpus was reversed by this court in United States ex rel. Turpin v. Snyder, 2 Cir., 183 F.2d 742. Upon remand that proceeding was dismissed because, among other reasons, the petitioner was not then serving time in excess of the longest sentence that could be imposed upon him as a first offender. This was no longer the fact when the present writ was issued.
2 See State ex rel. Doxtater v. Murphy, 248 Wis. 593, 22 N.W.2d 685.
