Fred Lee Williams, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Williams's habeas petition because he filed it in the county where he was convicted rather than the county where he was incarcerated. Because the petition was not brought under Act 1780, the incarcerating county's circuit court was the proper forum and the Drew County Circuit Court lacked personal jurisdiction to issue a writ effecting his release. His motion to file a belated reply brief was moot.
