United States Tenth Circuit


RICKS v. NICKELS, 00-3176

Where a prisoner was incarcerated at a military prison and subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, alleged constitutional violations were incident to his military service, and his complete discharge did not place him beyond the ambit of the Feres doctrine, thus his claims were properly dismissed.
