Writ: a petition for a writ of coram nobis under
the authority of the All Writs Act, asking the NMCCA to vacate the conviction
it had earlier affirmed on the ground that his guilty plea resulted from
ineffective assistance of counsel, who had assured him his plea bargain carried
no risk of deportation; as recognized by the All Writs Act—which permits
“courts established by Act of Congress” to issue “all writs necessary or
appropriate in aid of their respective jurisdictions,” 28 U. S. C. §1651(a)—a
court’s power to issue any form of relief, extraordinary or otherwise, is
contingent on its subject-matter jurisdiction over the case or controversy.
Such jurisdiction is determined by Congress (U.S.S.Ct., 08.06.09, U.S. v.
Denedo, J. Kennedy).
Notion de
“writ”, compris comme ordre de la cour aux fins d’assurer l’effectivité d’une
décision qui ressort de sa compétence. La cour peut ainsi rendre les
ordonnances qu’elle estime nécessaires à la bonne administration de sa justice,
mais uniquement dans le cadre des compétences quant au fond que le Congrès lui
a attribuées (28 U.S.C. §1651(a)).
