What is the appeal and cross-appeal from a grant of habeas corpus by the district court in a death penalty case?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Blazak v. Ricketts, 971 F.2d 1408 (9th Cir. 1992):
This is an appeal and cross-appeal from a grant of habeas corpus by the district court in a death penalty case. We sua sponte have considered whether we have jurisdiction to consider this appeal, see Collins v. Miller, 252 U.S. 364, 366, 40 S.Ct. 347, 348, 64 L.Ed. 616 (1920), and whether we should remand this case because of prudential concerns for judicial finality and efficiency. We find that the grant of habeas corpus was a final judgment ripe for immediate review.
