Olajuwon Smith, Appellant v. Ray Hobbs

Summary

The court dismissed Smith’s appeal from the denial of habeas relief because his claims did not show that his judgment was facially invalid or that the trial court lacked jurisdiction. It also denied his request to supplement the appellate record with materials that were not before the circuit court and deemed his remaining motions moot. The court held that the asserted trial, plea, evidentiary, prosecutorial-misconduct, ineffective-assistance, and postconviction claims were not cognizable in habeas proceedings.
