Question Presented (from Petition)
After petitioner's offenses, the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces overruled two precedents without fair warning and held that a court-martial can sentence retired Navy and Marine Corps personnel to a dishonorable discharge. Did it violate due process to apply the new rule to him? See Bouie v. City of Columbia, 378 U.S. 347 (1964).
Question Presented (AI Summary)
