Padilla set for Jan. 13 Conference
on Dec 29, 2005 at 11:41 am
The Supreme Court is now scheduled to consider the appeal by terrorism suspect Jose Padilla at its Conference on Friday, Jan. 13. The distribution was reported Wednesday on the Court’s electronic docket. If the Court grants review at that point, the case probably would be heard and decided in the current Term. The case is Padilla v. Hanft (05-533).
Before then, the Court is expected to act on the Bush Administration’s request to approve the transfer of Padilla from military to civilian custody. The application is Hanft v. Padilla (05-A-578).
