Judge:	Date Filed (YYYY-MM-DD):	To	United States v. Larry Allen Myers (1977)
Larry Allen Myers challenges the validity of his federal bank robbery conviction. He contends that the district court committed reversible error when it (1) refused to strike the testimony of alibi rebuttal witnesses whose identities were not disclosed before the trial, (2) admitted evidence indicating that Myers had previously been convicted of armed bank robbery, and (3) gave the jury a flight instruction that lacked sufficient evidentiary support. We agree, and therefore we reverse [...]	Court: Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit	Docket: 76-1489	Richard Gerry Drinkard v. Gary L. Johnson (1996)

In this equal employment opportunity action we consider the linguistic tolerance to be accorded a charging party under the 1964 Civil Rights Act and its attendant regulations. The court below dismissed the complaint on the ground that plaintiff had written the wrong words and checked the wrong box in filling out an administrative charge form supplied by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Because we conclude that the trial court's approach is not in keeping with the words of [...]	Court: Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit	Docket: 27730_1	United States v. Francisco D.

In challenging the dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. 2241 habeas petition, Sylvester Tolliver (federal prisoner # 24806-013) contends that 2241 is the proper method to collaterally attack his sentence, because a 28 U.S.C. 2255 motion would be denied as successive, therefore rendering 2255 ineffective and inadequate.
