The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit just handed down the judgment in
In re Al-Nashiri, granting mandamus, vacating all of military commission Judge
Vance Spath's orders on or after November 19, 2015, and vacating the decisions of the Court of Military Commission Review that reviewed those orders. The companion petition for a writ of mandamus in
In re Spears & Eliades was dismissed as moot. The court's opinion was written by Judge
David S. Tatel. It is available
here.
The opinion has some interesting and useful language for military justice practitioners on judge impartiality.
