Supreme Court of Arkansas

Franklin L. Chance, Appellant v. Ray Hobbs

September 25, 20142014 Ark. LEXIS 501

Summary

The court dismissed the appeal from the denial of a habeas petition because the claims did not show that the conviction was facially invalid or that the trial court lacked jurisdiction. The asserted jury-trial, evidentiary, prosecutorial-misconduct, trial-error, and ineffective-assistance claims were not cognizable in habeas proceedings. The motion for an extension of time to file a reply brief was therefore moot.
