Petitioner Brett Wright is an inmate in the United States Disciplinary Barracks, at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Mr. Wright filed this habeas petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 challenging the military tribunal's personal jurisdiction over him. Finding that Mr. Wright's direct appeal was pending, the district court dismissed his petition for failure to exhaust military remedies. This appeal followed.

Mr. Wright's direct appeal of this conviction is still pending in the U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals, Dkt. No. Army 9700470. Mr. Wright asks this court to exercise its equitable jurisdiction and interrupt the military's judicial process, arguing anything less will result in his continued incarceration due to "administrative delays" in the military's appellate process. This court "must refrain from intervention," however, since Mr. Wright claims "no harm other than that attendant to resolution of his case in the military court system." Schlesinger v. Councilman, 420 U.S. 738, 758 (1975).

The District Court is AFFIRMED.
