The case is Coalition of Clergy v. Bush, Civil No. 02-570 (C.D. Cal. Feb. 21, 2002). Relevant excerpt: >Having reviewed and considered all the arguments and conducted >additional research on its own, the Court rules as follows: >1. Petitioners do not have standing to assert claims on behalf of the >detainees. >2. Even if petitioners did have standing, this court lacks jurisdiction to >entertain those claims. >3. No federal court would have jurisdiction over petitioners' claims, so >there is no basis to transfer this matter to another federal district >court. >4. The petition must be dismissed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
