PINKNEY v. HILLENKOETTER

No. M-1978.

132 F.Supp. 625 (1955)

Henry Clay PINKNEY, Petitioner, v. R. H. HILLENKOETTER, Rear Admiral U. S. Navy, Commandant Third Naval District, Respondent.

United States District Court E. D. New York.

June 9, 1955.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John Cye Cheasty, New York City, for petitioner.

Leonard P. Moore, U. S. Atty., Brooklyn, N. Y., Paul Windels, Jr., Asst. U. S. Atty., Brooklyn, N. Y., for respondent.


GALSTON, District Judge.

A writ of habeas corpus issued May 26, 1955, to which the respondent filed a traverse, and a hearing was held before the court on May 31, 1955.

It appears that the petitioner was arrested on March 1, 1955 by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and turned over to the Naval authorities on the same day. He was confined in the Third Naval District brig to await trial by General Court-Martial on a charge of desertion.
