Supreme Court of Arkansas

Bumgarner v. Hobbs

February 20, 20142014 Ark. 78

Summary

The court affirmed denial of Bumgardner’s habeas petition because his challenges to the consecutive sentences and the characterization of the post-trial proceeding had already been resolved in earlier appeals and could not be relitigated. It also held that his jail-time-credit claim was not cognizable in habeas but instead had to be pursued under the state postconviction rule.
