Martin Akerman v. Sherri Doiron
AdministrativeLaw DueProcess
1. Does the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia have jurisdiction over a
habeas corpus petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 when the petitioner's custody
originates either from actions taken under the military jurisdiction of the State of
Nevada pursuant to Title 32, or under federal authority as part of posse comitatus
pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 12405, with the administrative custodian located within
the District of Columbia, and with the petitioner alleging violations of
constitutional rights?
2. In a habeas corpus proceeding, when the custodial authority over the petitioner
changes subsequent to the initial filing, does an appellate court's refusal to allow
the petitioner to update the case caption to reflect the new custodian's name
contravene the procedural standards and substantive rights afforded under
federal habeas corpus law, thereby necessitating review by the Supreme Court to
ensure the proper and consistent application of these legal principles?
