In Re Aaron Franklin Johnson, Jr.
IFP petition
Question presented
The Question Presented is if Mr. Johnson is entitled to a habeas relief and extraordinary writ due to the State of Maryland pattern of abuse and neglect while he is in State custody; and following this as-applied challenge of the Appellate Court and District Court of Maryland's application of the statutes pertaining to who can file a habeas corpus petition and when It can be filed. Both courts either struck and/ or rejected filings made on the behalf of the Petitioner by his wife, stating that she is not an attorney. Petitioner's wife does have power-of-attomey to file claims on his behalf. Petitioner contends that the courts’ rulings violated 28 U.S. Code § 2242, which states in part: ‘Application for a writ of habeas corpus shall be in writing signed and verified by the person for whose relief it is intended or by someone acting in his behalf. Mr. Johnson then applied for habeas relief individually, and his petition was denied with the court falsely stating that the case was already closed, when it had not. Applications for habeas relief can be made at any time. The court issued the denial order while simultaneously dosing the case in the order. 2 C*mScinn»rr
