insanityacquitteescommitmentconfinementchallengehabeasAcquittees Allowed to Challenge Outpatient Conditions of Release after Discharge from Psychiatric HospitalizationIn Janakievski v. Executive Director, 955 F.3d 314 (2d Cir. 2020), the Second Circuit Court of Appeals considered whether a person acquitted by by reason of insanity can challenge the outpatient conditions of release. The U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York had ruled that Mr. Janakievski's habeas corpus petition was moot because he had been released from confinement. In vacating the district court ruling, the Second Circuit decided the petition was not moot because Mr. Janakievski was still subject to an “order of conditions” that was a consequence of the original confinement order his petition challenged.
