Burgie v. Hobbs

Summary

The court dismissed Burgie's appeal from the denial of habeas relief because his claims did not establish that the judgment was facially invalid or that the trial court lacked jurisdiction. It held that the alleged defects in the charging instrument, double-jeopardy claim, and ex post facto, vagueness, and separation-of-powers claims were either nonjurisdictional or required factual inquiries beyond the face of the commitment order. The court also concluded that separate convictions and sentences for capital murder and aggravated robbery were within the trial court's jurisdiction, and it deemed the pending motions and mandamus petition moot.
