Hubbard v. Hobbs

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Marcus Hubbard’s habeas petition because he failed to allege facts showing that the conviction was facially invalid or that the circuit court lacked jurisdiction. His actual-innocence claim was not properly brought under the applicable statutory procedure, and his sufficiency, speedy-trial, and ineffective-assistance claims were either not preserved or were not cognizable in habeas proceedings. The court also upheld the circuit court’s designation of the dismissal as a strike.
