Glaze v. Hobbs

Summary

The court dismissed Glaze’s appeal from the denial of his habeas petition and declared his motion for an extension of time to file a brief moot because the appeal could not succeed. Glaze’s claims challenged the sufficiency and validity of prior felony convictions rather than the jurisdiction of the trial court or the facial validity of his felon-in-possession judgment. The court held that those claims were outside the scope of habeas relief and could not be used to retry the case or substitute for direct appeal or postconviction relief.
