Carrascosa v. McGuire, 3rd Cir. Mar. 20, 2008
07-1748 Carrascosa v. McGuire
Before: FUENTES, JORDAN, Circuit Judges and O’NEILL1, District Judge.
JORDAN, Circuit Judge. Maria José Carrascosa appeals from the District Court’s denial and dismissal with prejudice of her petition for a writ of habeas corpus, which sought to end her detention in the Bergen County, New Jersey jail for violating a civil contempt order issued by the Superior Court of New Jersey. At the heart of this sad case, which raises questions of international and federal law under the Hague Convention’s Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, T.I.A.S. No. 11670 (Nov. 7, 1988) (the “Hague Convention”), is a custody battle over a young girl who has not seen either of her parents in years. Because we agree with the skillful analysis of the District Court, we must affirm. … Carrascosa v. McGuire.
- Honorable Thomas N. O’Neill, Jr., United States District Court Judge for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, sitting by designation. [↩]
