General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Lopez v. United States, 404 U.S. 1213 (1971)
Lopez v. United States No. A-132 Decided August 23, 1971 404 U.S. 1213
ON APPLICATION FOR BAIL PENDING APPEAL
Syllabus
Applicant, whose conscientious objector claim matured after receipt of his induction notice, was convicted for refusing to submit to induction. He thereafter sought modification of his sentence to enable him to submit to induction and obtain from the Army a ruling on his claim. He asserts Army regulations in force at the time of his induction did not permit such in-service review, and that the relief he seeks is implicitly authorized by Ehlert v. United States, 402 U.S. 99. His appeal now pending in the Court of Appeals concerns the propriety of such a procedure.
Held: Applicant should be released on his own recognizance pending disposition of his appeal.
See: 322 F.Supp. 852.
