"Defendants Mohammed Ali Al-Moayad (“Al-Moayad”) and Mohammed Mohsen Zayed (“Zayed”) appeal from judgments of conviction in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Johnson, J.). Both were convicted of conspiring to provide material support to designated terrorist organizations Hamas and Al-Qaeda, and attempting to provide material support to Hamas. See 18 U.S.C. § 2339B(a)(1). Al-Moayad was also convicted of attempting to provide material support to Al-Qaeda and providing material support to Hamas."

Boumediene v. Bush. June 2008.
- The final ruling of this petition for writ of certiorari was decided on June 12, 2008 as "the Supreme Court held in a 5-4 opinion that aliens designated as enemy combatants and detained at the U.S. Naval Station in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, has the constitutional privilege of habeas corpus. The Court also found that § 7 of the Military Commissions Act (MCA), which limited judicial review of executive determinations of the petitioners' enemy combatant status, did not provide an adequate habeas substitute and therefore acted as an unconstitutional suspension of the writ of habeas. The immediate impact of the Boumediene decision is that detainees at Guantanamo may petition a federal district
court for habeas review of the circumstances of their detention."
