In the 1923 case of Ex Parte in the Matter of Transportes Maritimos do Estado, a Portuguese shipping company petitioned for relief from an order by a U.S. District Court which had arrested one of its vessels due to alleged debts. The Supreme Court ruled that it did not have jurisdiction over this matter because it was essentially an appeal from the district court's decision, and such appeals should be directed to circuit courts instead. Furthermore, they noted that even if they were to consider this as a writ of habeas corpus (a legal action against unlawful detention), it would still be inappropriate since ships cannot technically be detained like individuals can under law. Therefore, the petitioner's request was denied.
