Michigan Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. 2241 by a Person in Federal Custody is a legal application filed with the federal court by an individual who is in federal custody and seeking relief from the unlawful detention. This application is a form of petition whereby the petitioner requests the court to issue a writ of habeas corpus, which is a court order directing a prisoner's release from custody. In Michigan, the application is commonly known as “Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. 2241” and is governed by Michigan Court Rule 6.506. There are two types of Michigan Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. 2241 by a Person in Federal Custody: (1) original habeas corpus petition; and (2) successive habeas corpus petition. An original habeas corpus petition is an application for a writ of habeas corpus that is filed by an individual who is in federal custody and not subject to any other habeas corpus proceedings. A successive habeas corpus petition is an application for a writ of habeas corpus that is filed by a petitioner who has previously filed a habeas corpus petition in the past and is seeking further relief from the court. In either case, the application must include all relevant information pertaining to the petitioner's detention and the reasons why the court should issue a writ of habeas corpus. The petitioner must also attach any relevant documents and evidence in support of the application. The court will then review the application and decide whether the petitioner is entitled to a writ of habeas corpus. If the court issues the writ, the petitioner will be released from federal custody.
