Supreme Court of Arkansas

Parker v. Hobbs

September 5, 20132013 Ark. 309

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Parker’s habeas petition because his challenges to the guilty-plea proceedings did not allege that the conviction was facially invalid or that the sentencing court lacked jurisdiction. His claim that prolonged pretrial isolation influenced his guilty plea was likewise outside the limited scope of habeas review. No separate opinions were filed.
