Abstract
Dwain Edward Thomas, the plaintiff-appellant, brought a case against Kevin Stitt, the Governor of Oklahoma, in the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. Thomas challenged his imprisonment, alleging violations of his civil and constitutional rights. He argued that his detention was unlawful and sought relief through a writ of habeas corpus. Thomas contended that procedural errors and infringements of his rights under the Constitution warranted his release or a new trial. Governor Kevin Stitt, representing the state, defended the legality of Thomas's imprisonment, asserting that due process was followed in his conviction and sentencing. The Tenth Circuit Court evaluated the merits of Thomas's claims, considering the procedural history and legal arguments presented by both parties. The court's decision hinged on interpreting the application of constitutional protections in Thomas's case and whether any legal missteps justified overturning his conviction or altering his sentence.

Dwain Edward Thomas, the person bringing the lawsuit, went to court against Kevin Stitt, the Governor of Oklahoma. Thomas argued that he was wrongly imprisoned and that his rights were violated. He wanted to be released from prison or get a new trial.
Governor Stitt, representing Oklahoma, said that Thomas's imprisonment was legal and that everything was done properly when Thomas was found guilty and sentenced.
The court had to decide whether Thomas's rights were actually violated. This meant they had to look at how the case happened and what laws were involved. They also had to figure out if anything was done wrong that might make Thomas's conviction or sentence unfair.
