Question: Were Gates v. Collier and Boumediene v. Bush both cases in the federal court ?

<P0-S0>  1974), was a landmark case decided in U.S. federal court that brought an end to the Trusty system and the flagrant inmate abuse that accompanied it at Mississippi State Penitentiary (Parchman) in Sunflower County, Mississippi. <P0-S1> Gates v. Collier, 501 F.2d 1291 (5th Cir. <P0-S2>  It was the first case in a body of law developed in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals holding that a variety of forms of corporal punishment against prisoners constituted cruel and unusual punishment and a violation of Eighth Amendment rights. <P0-S3>  This case was also the first broad-scale intervention by a court in the supervision of prison practices. <SEP> <P1-S0> The "trustee system" (sometimes homophonically though perhaps incorrectly called "trusty system") was a strict system of discipline and security in the United States made compulsory under Mississippi state law (but also used in other states, such as Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, New York and Texas) as the method of controlling and working inmates at Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman, Mississippi's only prison. <P1-S1>  It was designed to replace convict leasing. <P1-S2>  Under this system, designated inmates were used by staff to control and administer physical punishment to other inmates according to a strict prison-determined inmate hierarchy of power. <P1-S3>  The case of "Gates v. Collier" (Gates v. Collier Prison Reform Case, 1970–1971) ended the flagrant abuse of inmates under the trusty system and other prison abuses which had continued essentially unchanged since the building of the prison in 1903 in Mississippi. <P1-S4>  Other states using the trusty system were also forced to give it up under this ruling. <SEP> <P2-S0>  Guantanamo Bay is not formally part of the United States, and under the terms of the 1903 lease between the United States and Cuba, Cuba retained ultimate sovereignty over the territory, while the United States exercises complete jurisdiction and control. <P2-S1>  The case was consolidated with habeas petition "Al Odah v. United States". <P2-S2>  It challenged the legality of Boumediene's detention at the United States Naval Station military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba as well as the constitutionality of the Military Commissions Act of 2006. <P2-S3> Boumediene v. Bush, 553 U.S. 723 (2008) , was a writ of habeas corpus submission made in a civilian court of the United States on behalf of Lakhdar Boumediene, a naturalized citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina, held in military detention by the United States at the Guantanamo Bay detention camps in Cuba. <P2-S4>  Oral arguments on the combined cases were heard by the Supreme Court on December 5, 2007. <SEP> <P3-S0> Hollingsworth v. Perry refers to a series of United States federal court cases that legalized same-sex marriage in the State of California. <P3-S1>  The case began in 2009 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, which found that banning same-sex marriage violates equal protection under the law. <P3-S2>  This decision overturned ballot initiative Proposition 8, which had banned same-sex marriage. <P3-S3>  After the State of California refused to defend Proposition 8, the official sponsors of Proposition 8 intervened and appealed to the Supreme Court. <P3-S4>  The case was litigated during the governorships of both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jerry Brown, and was thus known as Perry v. Schwarzenegger and Perry v. Brown, respectively. <P3-S5>  As "Hollingsworth v. Perry", it eventually reached the United States Supreme Court, which held that, in line with prior precedent, the official sponsors of a ballot initiative measure did not have Article III standing to appeal an adverse federal court ruling when the state refused to do so.
