In Re Wilton Chatman-Bey

How courts have described this case

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

• recognizing that “where an inmate challenges the conditions of his incarceration,” the district court might be justified in ordering a “sua sponte transfer to the place of confinement” (emphasis added)
• vacating a transfer in part because the prisoner “raise[d] a purely legal issue, which require[d] no trial court factfinding” and would “not turn on the place at which he is incarcerated”
