Wallace Gardner, Appellant v. Ray Hobbs

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Gardner's habeas petition and denied his motion for appointment of counsel. It held that his double-jeopardy claim was either not cognizable in habeas or meritless, while his sufficiency, actual-innocence, due-process, equal-protection, and ineffective-assistance claims could not be pursued through habeas because they did not establish facial invalidity or a jurisdictional defect. The court also declined to consider claims raised for the first time on appeal.
