What it's about
The Court refused to hear his case and did not decide whether the Army violated the law.
Gaylord pointed to an official government record that he said required the Army to pay all of his retired pay.
The case came to the Supreme Court from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
Question presented
Whether the government violates the Due Process Clause and 10 U.S.C. 1214 when the Army fails to provide the mandatory “full and fair hearing” based upon an official government record showing that the Army is required to pay all retired pay?
