Sims v. State

Summary

The court dismissed the appeal from the denial of a habeas-corpus petition because the petition alleged only that counsel misadvised Sims about parole eligibility, which did not challenge the judgment's facial validity or the circuit court's jurisdiction. That allegation constituted an ineffective-assistance claim that was not cognizable in habeas proceedings and should instead have been raised under the applicable criminal procedure rule. Sims's motion for an extension of time to file his brief was therefore moot.
