True.
In Marbury v. Madison (1803) Chief Justice John Marshall, writing for the Court, held that Marbury had a right to the commission — but the Court also ruled it lacked jurisdiction to issue the writ of mandamus under the Judiciary Act of 1789, because that portion of the Act was unconstitutional.
