Abstract

The petitioner was convicted for willful refusal to submit to induction into the Armed Forces. 50 U.S.C. App. § 462 a). The judgment of conviction was affirmed by the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. We granted certiorari, 400 U.S. 990, to consider whether the induction notice was invalid because grounded upon an erroneous denial of the petitioner's claim to be classified as a conscientious objector.
