Although the information of this article mostly focuses on its historical significance, this article was written with the intention of providing information on the origins of the criteria for writ of coram nobis in the Ninth Circuit’s jurisdiction. The writ of coram nobis is a rare remedy and (unfortunately) it is often misunderstood and misused. The historical context is important for those who are researching the writ.
There was consideration of trying to combine this article with the Supreme Court’s 1943 decision, Hirabayashi v. United States, but combining the information diminishes the significance of the coram nobis aspect. The Ninth Circuit’s decision on the writ of coram nobis only applies to the 11 states (and territories) in its jurisdiction.
