Bakkala v. Hobbs

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of habeas relief because the petitioner’s claims concerning coercion, his plea, ineffective assistance, insufficient evidence, and plea proceedings were not cognizable in a habeas proceeding. Such claims did not establish either facial invalidity of the judgment or a jurisdictional defect. The court also denied the request for a copy of the brief and deemed the requests for appointed counsel and supplemental briefing moot.
