Supreme Court of Arkansas

Larry Hugh Tyson, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

October 9, 20142014 Ark. LEXIS 532

Summary

The court dismissed the appeal from the denial of Tyson’s habeas petition because he was no longer incarcerated in the county where the petition had been filed, leaving that circuit court unable to grant release. Although the court could retain subject-matter jurisdiction, it no longer had personal jurisdiction over the custodian or the prisoner’s custody. The opinion contains no separate writings.
