Task: songer_applfrom

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals. Your task is to identify the type of district court decision or judgment appealed from (i.e., the nature of the decision below in the district court).

PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal from an order denying a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Appellant was apprehended in Virginia on a warrant charging him with being a fugitive from justice. This warrant was subsequently dismissed for lack of prosecution; but appellant was taken into custody and transported into the state of Maryland as a violator of parole. While in custody in Virginia, he filed with the court below an application for a writ of habeas corpus, but before the application came on for consideration he had been transported into Maryland. The District Judge properly denied the application because state remedies had not been exhausted as required by 28 U.S.C. § 2254. We have no jurisdiction to entertain the appeal for failure of appellant to obtain the certificate of probable cause required by 28 U.S.C. § 2253; and, as state remedies had not been exhausted at the time of application for the writ, no such certificate would be proper.
Appeal dismissed.
