7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Timothy B. Fredrickson v. Dusty Terrill
Case No.: 19-3201
Officials: KANNE, ROVNER, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Habeas Corpus
Timothy Fredrickson, then awaiting his criminal trial, petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus, 28 U.S.C. § 2241, seeking release on bail. The district court denied the petition, determining that challenges to pretrial detention must be brought under the Bail Reform Act of 1984, 18 U.S.C. § 3142, rather than a habeas proceeding. We affirm.
