How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • finding that even if procedural due process applied, any error would be harmless beyond a reasonable doubt because it did not impact the district court’s decision
  • affirming district court’s denial of a detainee’s additional discovery request because it “did not establish the conditions required under the CMO for further discovery”
  • assuming the detainee had a constitutional right to due process and the district court violated it, but concluding that \such error would be harmless\
  • noting on habeas review that our court has rejected the application of due process rights to Guantanamo
  • abstaining from holding that the Due Process Clause does not apply at Guantanamo, because “[e]ven assuming” that the Clause applies, the record showed any error would be harmless
  • Fifth Amendment does not apply to Cubans and Haitians temporarily housed at Guantanamo
