CALIFORNIA V. SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA
482 U.S. 400 (1987)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Review of state habeas corpus proceeding.
FACTS: Smolin and his ex-wife, Pope, were engaged in a very bitter and protracted custody
dispute. The dispute resulted in different custody orders being issued by the state of
California and Louisiana. Smolin had sole custody under a California order and picked up the
children in Louisiana. The Popes brought criminal kidnapping charges against Smolin and the
state of Louisiana sought extradition from California. A California Superior Court (D)
granted Smolin's writ for habeas corpus, finding the Louisiana criminal charge patently
nonmeritorious. The court of appeals reversed, but the state supreme court reinstated the
trial court order. The U.S. Supreme Court granted review.
