Vincent Dewayne Gaylord v. United States

IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, No. 2025-1555 · judgment October 15, 2025

Question presented

Department of the army fails to provide the mandatory "full and fair hearing. Required by 10 U.S.C 1214, based upon an official government record weather the government violates the due process clause and 10 U.S.C 1214 when it shows that the army is required to pay all retired pay. 10 U.S.C 1214 requires a full and fair hearing. The Government' own record admits that there should be retired pay, and retired pay due, and retroactive pay due. The Secretary of the US Army may retire a service member with retired pay, when an injury or disease incurred during active military. The disease that occurred was discrimination, so this was not the result of my willful misconduct. Punitive discharge is thereafter unlawfully executed.
