Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New Mexico
I was working and living on White Sands Missile Range which is a military installation and I was indicted by a grand jury. I was arrested and posted bond. On a different occasion I failed to appear in court. I violated my terms of release.
While in custody I received a letter from the Commanding General (dated April 9, 2010) stating I am never to reenter the installation.
Since I worked on the installation and I was no longer allowed to reenter and go to work. As a result I felt I they were forcing me to resign, so I did.
I also filed an appeal with the Untied State of America Merit Systems Protection Board Denver Field Office, which now, I know was the wrong route and now I am contacting your organization to see if you can help me fight this big giant who feels that they can do whatever they want to do and no one will standup to them.

They can exclude you from the base. This is not a democracy, this is a dictatorship - the military. Having been indicted for a felony you are eligible for exclusion, and there is nothing you can do about it unless you win your case.
