Supreme Court of Arkansas

Loftis v. Hobbs

September 26, 20132013 Ark. 352

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Loftis’s habeas petition challenging the legality of his suspended sentence for a Class Y felony. It held that the sentencing issue had already been resolved adversely to him on direct appeal and therefore could not be relitigated, and that the petition also failed to show either a jurisdictional defect or facial invalidity of the judgment. No separate opinions were filed.
