Description
The appellants are the Selective Service Local Board in Mobile, Alabama, and the appellee Collins is a registrant, who after exhaustion of all administrative appeals was classified by the Local Board as a conscientious objector, Class 4-E; was by the Director assigned to work of national importance at a civilian public service camp in Colorado; and was accordingly ordered by the Local Board to report for a health examination and for instructions as to his transportation. He reported and received his instructions but did not go to the camp, and instead filed a petition for the writ of habeas corpus against the members of the Local Board, claiming that he was unlawfully restrained of his liberty by them in that he was a minister of religion, and since his initial classification he had offered the Local Board and Appeal Board convincing evidence thereof and had prayed them to reopen his classification, but they had arbitrarily and capriciously refused to consider the evidence.
