Theard v. United States

Because of petitioners disbarrment by the Supreme Court of Louisiana, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana struck him from its roll of attorneys, and the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed the order. 228 F.2d 617. The case raises an important question regarding disbarrment by a federal court on the basis of disbarrment by a state court and so we granted certiorari. 351 U.S. 961.
