Supreme Court of Arkansas

Pruitt v. State

January 29, 20152015 Ark. 34

Summary

The court dismissed Pruitt’s appeal from the denial of habeas relief because his claims did not allege that the conviction was facially invalid or that the trial court lacked jurisdiction. His challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence and effectiveness of counsel were outside the scope of habeas corpus, leaving the appeal without merit; his motion for an extension of time was therefore moot.
