Question Presented (from Petition)

Question not identified.

The document provided is an "Application for an Extension of Time Within Which to File a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari." It does not contain a "Question(s) Presented" section in the formal sense required by Supreme Court Rule 14.1(a).

While the application discusses issues that applicant intends to raise in a future certiorari petition (such as when a military Court of Criminal Appeals loses jurisdiction to entertain writs of habeas corpus), these are presented as background context and statements of intent within the body of the application, not as a formal "Question Presented" section.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a military Court of Criminal Appeals retains jurisdiction to hear a writ of habeas corpus when a final order is issued prematurely before the completion of direct appellate review
