* In re Guantanamo Detainee Litigation (D.D.C. Sep. 22, 2008)
In this brief opinion, Judge Hogan denies a request for access to certain medical information relating to a GTMO detainee, and for the court to order the government to alter the conditions of confinement for that detainee. Section 7(a)(2) of the MCA strips federal courts of jurisdiction to hear challenges to conditions of confinement, and Judge Hogan noted that nothing in the Supreme Court’s Boumediene required the court not to comply with that provision. The detainee, notably, did not directly challenge the constitutionality of section 7(a)(2).
