The opinion
JOHNSON, District Judge.
The petitioner, Edward Harris Miller, has filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The facts, as they appear from the allegations in the petition, are that, having served a penitentiary sentence less good time, he was conditionally released subject to the parole provisions of 18 U.S. C.A. 716b; that, while thus conditionally released under parole supervision, a parole violation warrant issued and he was also during this period charged with and convicted of another crime and is now serving a penitentiary sentence imposed thereunder. The parole violation warrant has been lodged against him in the nature of a detainer. His contention is that this warrant cannot be thus lodged as a detainer and served after he has completed the service of his present sentence.
The petitioner is at the present time legally restrained of his liberty under a sentence imposed by the United States District Court and which sentence is not in question in his present petition for habeas corpus; and whether or not a warrant lodged as a detainer is valid or may be served after he has completed the service of his present sentence is not the proper subject of a proceeding in habeas corpus. McNally v. Hill, 293 U.S. 131 , 55 S.Ct. 24 , 79 L.Ed. 238 .
The present petition is, however, in any event without merit. That the Parole Board may withhold the execution oí a warrant for violation of parole while a parolee is serving another sentence is precisely the issue decided in Zerbst v. Kidwell, 304 U.S. 359 , 58 S.Ct. 872 , 82 L.Ed. 1399 , 116 A.L.R. 808 .
The petition for a writ of habeas corpus is dismissed and the writ denied.
