Task: songer_casetyp1_1-2

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to identify the issue in the case, that is, the social and/or political context of the litigation in which more purely legal issues are argued. Put somewhat differently, this field identifies the nature of the conflict between the litigants. The focus here is on the subject matter of the controversy rather than its legal basis.
Your task is to determine the specific issue in the case within the broad category of "criminal". 

OPINION OF THE COURT
PER CURIAM:
The issues which we are asked to decide on this appeal from a denial of ha-beas corpus are now before the United States Court of Military Appeals on a “motion for rehearing” filed in that court by the present appellant on December 6, 1966, and the Court of Military Appeals has directed that the matter be briefed and argued. In this posture of the matter any intervention by the civil courts would be untimely.
Accordingly, the district court’s denial of habeas corpus, 256 F.Supp. 679, will be affirmed.

Question: What is the specific issue in the case within the general category of "criminal"?
A. federal offense
