Reed v. Mississippi
Citations: 390 U.S. 413; 88 S. Ct. 1113; 19 L. Ed. 2d 1273; 1968 U.S. LEXIS 2174Docket: 858, Misc
Court: Supreme Court of the United States; March 18, 1968; Federal Supreme Court; Federal Appellate Court
The Supreme Court of the United States addressed the case of Abraham Reed v. Mississippi, where the motion to dismiss the appeal was granted due to lack of jurisdiction. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, and the Court treated the appeal documents as a petition for a writ of certiorari, which was ultimately denied. Justice Douglas expressed a differing opinion, advocating for the papers to be considered as a petition for a writ of certiorari and for certiorari to be granted.
