Gluff v. Rouls

This is an appeal from a judgment denying relief in two causes for writs of habeas corpus which were consolidated for trial. No cross-errors were assigned. The complaints for the writs charged that appellant was restrained of his liberty by virtue of a warrant issued by the Governor of the State of Indiana upon an ""alleged requisition"" from the Governor of Ohio charging that appellant was a fugitive from the State of Ohio, and that he was there charged with committing felonies by the issuance of fraudulent checks. Many of the errors sought to be presented here have been waived by failure of appellant to present a good faith effort to comply with the rules of this court. At the time this appeal was perfected, Rule 2-17 (g) provided that, ""Following that part of the brief headed, 'Propositions, Points and Authorities,' and under the heading 'Argument,' there shall be a Discussion elaborating the propositions and points of law and authorities theretofore cited. All argument and elaboration of propositions and application of legal principles and authorities to the questions presented shall be confined to this part of the brief."" Subsection (h) of the same rule provided, ""Errors assigned and not treated as herein directed shall be deemed to be waived.""
