United States v. Walker

Captain Walker filed a pleading with this Court styled a petition for extraordinary relief. He particularly seeks an order from this Court directing review of his court-martial conviction by the United States Air Force Court of Military Review under the provisions of Article 66, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 USC § 866. Since his request for review was denied by the Court of Military Review on March 30, 1992, we construe this pleading as a writ-appeal petition. See Ellis v. Jacob, 26 MJ 90, 91 n. 2 (CMA 1988).

The facts giving rise to the issue raised in this petition are not in dispute.…
