State v. Anderso

618 P.2d 42 (Utah 1980)

Facts

Anderson (D) was arrested in California for stealing a car in Utah. D filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus against extradition. Before the proceedings could be started, D was returned to Utah. D was tried and convicted of theft in Utah. D appealed; the Utah district court lacked jurisdiction because D's writ was still pending in California.
