General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Williams v. Zuckert, 371 U.S. 531 (1963)
Williams v. Zuckert No. 133 Argued December 13, 1962 Decided January 14, 1963 371 U.S. 531
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Certiorari was granted in this case to consider whether, under the principles enunciated in Vitarelli v. Seaton, 359 U.S. 535, the discharge of petitioner, a veteran with Civil Service status, from the United States Air Force for alleged misconduct was vitiated by an improper denial of a right to cross-examination at his hearing before the Civil Service Commission on appeal pursuant to § 14 of the Veterans’ Preference Act and the Commission’s regulations thereunder. Review of the record and argument of counsel, however, disclosed that petitioner’s request for cross-examination of witnesses was neither timely nor in conformity with the applicable regulations.
Held: the Vitarelli issue is not adequately presented by this case, and the writ of certiorari is dismissed as improvidently granted. Pp. 531-533. (But see 372 U.S. 765.)
111 U.S.App.D.C. 294, 96 F.2d 416, certiorari dismissed.
