Jesus Sotelo Lopez, Also Known as Jesus Romero Sotelo Lopez v. United States

Lopez was an applicant for citizenship, which was denied by the trial court. He is an alien, whose petition for naturalization was based upon the following grounds. He served in the United States Army from June 13, 1949, to August 29, 1950, when he was honorably discharged. His contention is that he was entitled to naturalization because of the Act of J une 30, 1953, Public Law 86, 83rd Congress, 8 U.S.C.A. § 1440a, which reads in part:

The language of the statute is entirely unambiguous. Its meaning is perfectly clear. Lopez did not serve for a period of not less than ninety days after June 24, 1950. There was therefore no basis for his admission as a citizen under this law.
