Supreme Court

HENRY Et Al. v. WARNER, SECRETARY OF THE NAVY, Et Al.

412 U.S. 1201, 36 L. Ed. 2d 953, 93 S. Ct. 2284, 1973 U.S. LEXIS 2402

Supreme Court of the United States·Decided May 18, 1973·No. A-1124·Published

Opinion

Mr. Justice Douglas, Circuit Justice.

The application for an order vacating the stay of the Court of Appeals is denied on the representation of the Solicitor General that the named applicants in the case have all been released from confinement and that within the Central District of California no persons are currently confined in any military detention facility as a result of a conviction by summary court-martial without the aid of counsel. Whether the District Court has authority to issue a writ of habeas corpus for unnamed members of the class outside the District and/or on a worldwide basis is so novel a question that an order granting such relief should be issued only after full argument. Application denied.
