Abstract

In the Blackfeet Tribal Court of Appeals, the Court granted a Writ of Habeas Corpus and ordered the immediate release of an individual erroneously placed in the BIA Jail on a 72 hour hold for failure to comply with a court order to get as assessment for drugs and alcohol by May 22, 1992. The underlying order arose from a custody dispute over Defendant’s children where the Defendant agreed to voluntarily see drug and alcohol evaluation. No evidence was present to substantiate involuntary commitment.
