A U.S. court dismissed recently former Agriculture Undersecretary Jocelyn “Joc-Joc” Bolante’s petition for habeas corpus which, he said, would enable him to challenge the legality of his two-year detention.
Judge Charles N. Clevert Jr. of the U.S. District Court in Wisconsin cited lack of jurisdiction in dismissing Bolante’s petition last Sept. 3.
Judge Lynn Adelman of the same court dismissed on Oct. 18, 2006 a similar petition from Bolante also “for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.”
