Supreme Court of Arkansas

Wesley v. Hobbs

May 29, 20142014 Ark. 260

Summary

The court dismissed the appeal from the denial of a petition to correct an illegal sentence because the petition was filed in a county circuit court that lacked jurisdiction over the challenged judgment. Only the circuit court where the criminal judgment was entered could consider the petition, and the appellate court therefore also lacked jurisdiction. The motion for leave to file a belated reply brief was moot.
