This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

Robinson (P) was convicted of burglary in Oregon and sentenced to five years in the state prison. P was granted parole in order to stand trial in Nebraska. D was convicted and served 20 months before he was released. The Oregon parole board revoked his parole for alleged parole violations and attempted to extradite P from Nevada to Oregon. D still had three years left on his Oregon sentence. D applied for a writ of habeas corpus; he was not a fugitive because he was compelled to leave Oregon. The writ was denied, and D appealed.
