See judicial power; Article III
[Padilla v Hanft] (dismissing habeas petition of person in military confinement as moot where petitioner had been released to judicial custody and charged with a crime, on the grounds that the court's decision would have no real effect, the petitioner could always seek habeas if he was again militarily confined, and the court should not unnecessarily get involved in broader questions of the separation of powers)
[Hayburns Case] (refusing to pass judgment under act requiring circuit courts to hear claims by disabled veterans, which Congress and the War Department could revise, where the claims were held as administrative proceedings rather than a controversy between two parties, and where the particular plaintiff had already received relief by another means; note the problem as to whether the court can even issue nonbinding explanations for why it cannot hear the case)
