Habeas corpus application dismissed; involuntary transfer of transgender inmate to male institution was reasonable and lawful.
The applicant, a transgender female federal inmate, brought a habeas corpus application challenging her involuntary transfer from a women's institution to a men's maximum-security institution.
The applicant argued the transfer was an unlawful deprivation of her residual liberty.
The court declined to decide whether the transfer constituted a deprivation of residual liberty, finding that even if it did, the transfer was reasonable and lawful due to the applicant's disruptive and threatening behavior at the women's institution.
The application was dismissed, along with underdeveloped Charter claims.
