United States v. Ortiz, 76 M.J. 189 (C.A.A.F. 2017)
Apr 17, 2017OUTCOME: Case affirmed
Matt's top victories include a string of cases alleging that a military Colonel terminated his position as a military officer and a military appellate judge by accepting a Presidential appointment to b ... ecome an appellate judge on the United States Court of Military Commission Review. Representing the United States government in those cases, Matt convinced both the Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals and the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces that no such termination occurred. Those cases were eventually heard before the Supreme Court, where the Solicitor General’s office adopted Matt’s arguments and resulted in a consensus opinion affirming Matt’s position.
