U.S. Supreme Court

Stadelman v. Miner, 246 U.S. 544 (1918)

Stadelman v. Miner

No. 64

Submitted January 2, 1918

Decided April 15, 1918

246 U.S. 544

Syllabus

Under Jud.Code, § 237, as amended by the Act of September 6, 1916, a final judgment of a state court is not reviewable by writ of error if no treaty or statute or authority exercised under a state or the United States was drawn in question.

An objection that the judgment of a state court ordering sale of real estate denies due process to nonresident parties served by publication, in that the order was made before the service was complete under the state statutes, merely challenges the power of the state court to proceed to a decision, and this does not draw in question the validity of any authority exercised under the state within the meaning of Jud.Code, § 237, as amended. Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Co. v. Gilbert, 245 U. S. 162.

Writ of error to review 83 Ore. 348, 379, 388 dismissed.

The case is stated in the opinion.
