Frederickson v. Terrill

Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant's section 2241 habeas petition that sought his release on bail. Defendant had previously sought release on bail under Bail Reform Act, where Dist. Ct. had denied such request, after finding that defendant had failed to show that he was not danger to community. Moreover, defendant had filed appeal of said denial five months later, which was dismissed as untimely by Ct. of Appeals. As such, Dist. Ct. could properly dismiss instant habeas petition, since defendant's only avenue for seeking release on bail is through Bail Reform Act, and defendant could not use section 2241 habeas petition to seek bail, where he had missed deadline to appeal initial bail denial under Bail Reform Act.
