Supreme Court of Arkansas
Kenneth Ray Kindall, Appellant v. Ray Hobbs
March 5, 20152015 Ark. LEXIS 111
Summary
The court affirmed dismissal of the appellant's habeas petition because the challenged sentence enhancement was not facially illegal and the trial court had jurisdiction to impose it. Applying established precedent, the court held that the sentencing provisions governing the underlying offense could coexist with the separate firearm-enhancement statute. The appellant therefore failed to establish either facial invalidity of the judgment or a jurisdictional defect.
