Not Entitled to Discharge of Sentence . Inmate Allen L. Slater filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the district court, asserting that he was a prisoner of the state of Washington, but had been delivered to the custody of the appellee, the warden of a private correctional facility in Colorado. Slater claimed that he was entitled to release because the transfer was unlawful. The district court dismissed the petition for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. Because Slater had not shown any reason why the transfer to this state entitled him to discharge of his Washington sentence, he was not entitled to habeas corpus relief.

Fazzio filed an application of abandonment for the water rights of two ditches currently owned by Haystack. The water court found substantial periods of nonuse of the water rights by the previous owners, and ultimately found an abandonment of the water rights.
