Miscellaneous Docket - Summary
Dispositions
No.
24-0048/AR. Robert L. Barnett v. U.S. CCA 20190709. On consideration of
the writ-appeal petition and Appellant's motion to file a supplemental brief,
it is ordered that the petition is hereby dismissed for lack of jurisdiction;
and that the motion is denied as moot.
No.
24-0050/AR. Rene D. Alfaro v. Judges of the CCA. CCA 20220282. Petitioner
has filed a petition for extraordinary relief in the nature
of a writ of mandamus and a writ of prohibition. He asks this Court to
issue a writ of mandamus directing the United States Army Court of Criminal
Appeals to permit military appellate defense counsel to transmit sealed
materials in the record of trial – with the exception of
Item Y – to his civilian appellate defense counsel, who now lives in Israel. He
also asks this Court to issue a writ of prohibition ordering the same court not
to enforce Army Court of Criminal Appeals Rule 6.9 in any matter before that
court.
This
Court previously issued a writ of mandamus, except for Item Y, providing for
access to the sealed materials. Alfaro v. Judges of United States Army Court of
Criminal Appeals, No. 23-0258/AR (C.A.A.F. Oct. 24, 2023)(sum.
disp.). Next, Petitioner moved the lower court for an
order to copy and transmit the sealed items to his civilian counsel. CCA Motion
for Leave to Transmit Sealed Materials of 22 Nov 2023. The lower court
summarily denied the motion.
Petitioner subsequently submitted his most recent writ
petition to this Court seeking enforcement of the writ of mandamus. This Court
responded by issuing an order to the government to answer the petition and to
show cause why a military appellate defense counsel has not been detailed to
represent Petitioner. Alfaro v. Judges of United States Army Court of Criminal
Appeals, No. 24-0050/AR (C.A.A.F. Dec. 18, 2023)(order).
In
response to that order, Respondent has filed an answer. On consideration of all
pleadings of record, we note that military appellate defense counsel has been
detailed to represent Petitioner before the lower court. We further note that
technological means exist whereby the sealed materials may be securely
transmitted or shared virtually with civilian appellate defense counsel.
Accordingly,
it is ordered that the petition for a writ of mandamus is granted.
Without
further delay, the lower court shall permit and facilitate the military counsel
to securely transmit or virtually share the sealed materials – except for Item
Y – with civilian counsel.
The
petition for a writ of prohibition as to A.C.C.A. R. 6.9 is denied without
prejudice to Petitioner's right to raise the matters asserted during the course of normal appellate review.
