What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals. The issue is: "Did the court rule that some evidence, other than a confession made by the defendant or illegal search and seizure, was inadmissibile, (or did ruling on appropriateness of evidentary hearing benefit the defendant)?" Answer the question based on the directionality of the appeals court decision. If the court discussed the issue in its opinion and answered the related question in the affirmative, answer "Yes". If the issue was discussed and the opinion answered the question negatively, answer "No". If the opinion considered the question but gave a mixed answer, supporting the respondent in part and supporting the appellant in part, answer "Mixed answer". If the opinion does not discuss the issue, or notes that a particular issue was raised by one of the litigants but the court dismissed the issue as frivolous or trivial or not worthy of discussion for some other reason, answer "Issue not discussed". If the opinion considered the question but gave a "mixed" answer, supporting the respondent in part and supporting the appellant in part (or if two issues treated separately by the court both fell within the area covered by one question and the court answered one question affirmatively and one negatively), answer "Mixed answer". If the opinion either did not consider or discuss the issue at all or if the opinion indicates that this issue was not worthy of consideration by the court of appeals even though it was discussed by the lower court or was raised in one of the briefs, answer "Issue not discussed". If the court answered the question in the affirmative, but the error articulated by the court was judged to be harmless, answer "Yes, but error was harmless".

Opinion:
BOBY v. ZURBRICK, District Director of Immigration.
No. 6256.
Circuit Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
Dec. 16, 1932.
Ida Lippman, of Detroit, Mich. (Benjamin A. Rossin, of Detroit, Mich., on. the brief), for appellant.
Y. F. McAuliflie, of Detroit Midi. (Gregory H. Frederick, of Detroit, Mich., on the brief), for appellee.
Before HICKS, HICKENLOOPER, and SIMONS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Appellant, George Boby, filed his petition for writ of habeas eorpus. He sought to be discharged from arrest under a warrant of deportation directing that he be deported to Roumania. lie did not challenge the right of the government to deport him, but insisted that Roumania was not the country “whence he came.” See section 20 of the Immigration Act of February 5', 1917, U. S. C., tit. 8, § 156 (8 USCA § 156).
At the hearing the District Court dismissed the writ. Appellant has preserved nothing for review. No bill of exceptions nor statement of evidence has been “authenticated” or “approved” by the trial judge. The record contains what purports to bo a stipulation, that at the hearing “United States Department of Labor File No. 55,717 was offered and received in evidence,” and a further stipulation that this record be certified to us and made a part of the record on appeal. What purports to be such a file has been sent to us, but it was not ordered to be sent either by the District Court or by this court. It bears no identification marks showing that it was ever considered by the District Court. Indeed, the record entries show only that the petition for the writ of habeas corpus was dismissed after it was read and after the attorney for petitioner had been heard. For the reasons indicated, this file No. 55,717 cannot be considered. Dukas v. Zurbrick, 56 F.(2d) 518 (C. C. A. 6).
The stipulation last above referred to also purports to set forth other evidence and proceedings before the District Court, but it cannot take the place of the authentication or approval by the trial judge necessary to make its contents a part of the record. Malony v. Adsit, 175 U. S. 281, 287, 20 S. Ct. 115, 44 L. Ed. 163; Metropolitan R. R. Co. v. District of Columbia, 195 U. S. 322, 332, 25 S. Ct. 28, 49 L. Ed. 219; Buessel v. U. S., 258 F. 811, 817 (C. C. A. 2). Annexed to this stipulation is the name and official title of the judge, but wo cannot assume that he signed the paper as an authentication or approval of it as a part of the record.
Because of the insufficiency in the record in the particulars indicated, the order of the District Court must be and is affirmed.
