Marcello v. Brownell

Appellant was convicted in 1938 of a violation of 26 U.S.C. § 2591, the Marijuana Tax Act of August 2, 1937. It is conceded that, until the enactment of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, appellant was not deportable. The question is whether, by virtue of §§ 241 (a) (11) and 241(d) of that Act, 8 U.S. C. §§ 1251(a) (11) and 1251(d), appellant’s 1938 conviction renders him deportable, as the District Court held in the judgment now under review. The Supreme Court has answered that question in the affirmative. Mulcahey v. Catalanotte, 77 S.Ct. 1025.

Affirmed.
