Malone v. Hobbs

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of the habeas petition because the petitioner failed to show that either the extradition process or the length of his sentence rendered the judgment facially invalid or deprived the trial court of jurisdiction. The court also held that the excessive-sentence issue had already been adjudicated and could not be revisited. The extradition claim failed because the petitioner did not establish any defect affecting subject-matter or personal jurisdiction.
