The fact that it was just docketed means that since it was a pro se pleading, the Clerks worked with the Petitioner to perfect the pleadings.<BR/><BR/>It's unconscionable imho, that he didn't have the "assistance of appellate counsel" who had been representing him all along. Unless it's a patently frivilous petition, the "appearance" of justice is an illusion and the duty of a lawyer to his/her client, should have some meaning.<BR/><BR/>I don't know the facts or circumstances for sure, but this is a perception in SCOTUS's eyes that the military really doesn't care.Dew_Processhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12952551772411097184noreply@blogger.com
