Opinion
No. 7890.
September 9, 1935.
Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the District of Oregon; James Alger Fee, Judge.
Habeas corpus proceeding by Walter Baer against Roy J. Norene, Divisional Director of Immigration for the District of Oregon. From an order denying the application for the writ, the petitioner appeals.
Order affirmed.
Irvin Goodman, of Portland, Or., for appellant.
Carl C. Donaugh, U.S. Atty., and Hugh L. Biggs, Asst. U.S. Atty., both of Portland, Or., for appellee.
Before WILBUR, GARRECHT, and MATHEWS, Circuit Judges.
The petitioner was convicted of burglary in the second degree in 1917; later, in 1919, he was convicted of knowingly uttering a forged bank check; and still later, in 1921, was convicted of forgery of an indorsement on a check. The only contention raised by the appellant is that these crimes do not involve moral turpitude and therefore cannot form the basis for deportation. It is clear that these offenses involve moral turpitude.
The order of the lower court denying the application of petitioner for writ of habeas corpus is affirmed.
