                                 SUMMARY DISPOSITION ON
                        PETITION FOR EXTRAORDINARY RELIEF
                       --------------------------------------------------------

Per Curiam:

       This matter is before us as a result of a petition for extraordinary relief filed
by petitioner pursuant to the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a) (2006). In a
Petition for Relief in the Nature of an Extraordinary Writ and Application for Stay
of Proceedings, petitioner asks this court to “grant extraordinary relief by: (1)
staying the trial proceedings pending a decision of this Court on the petition, and (2)
issue a Writ ordering the military judge to revoke his order removing Petitioner from
the proceedings.”

       As of the current date, petitioner’s court-martial proceedings have consisted
solely of sessions conducted in accordance with Article 39(a), Uniform Code of
Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. §839 and Rule for Courts-Martial 804(b).

       Under the facts presented by petitioner to this court, both the Petition for
Relief in the Nature of an Extraordinary Writ and Application for Stay of
HASAN  ARMY MISC 20120599

Proceedings are hereby denied without prejudice to petitioner’s ability to file a
similar petition at a later stage of the proceedings.

                                        FOR THE
                                        FOR THE COURT:
