Authors

James R. Thompson

Abstract

In Andre v. Resor the United States District Court for the Northern District of California granted the habeas petition of an Army enlisted man whose induction had been accelerated pursuant to the delinquency regulations held invalid by the Supreme Court in Gutknecht v. United States. The Andre decision-the first to apply Gutknecht retroactively in a civil habeas corpus proceeding-is now on appeal.
