Collet originated as an assumpsit case in Pennsylvania state court, but eventually came to the federal Circuit Court where the Circuit Court ruled that Congress' power of naturalization was concurrent with the state's. Collet obtained a writ of error but dropped the case before reaching the Supreme Court.[1]
