Deontae Antonio Fulton, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed denial of Fulton’s habeas petition because he alleged neither that the judgment was facially invalid nor that the trial court lacked jurisdiction. His challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence, alleged due-process and evidentiary errors, and ineffective assistance of counsel were not cognizable in habeas proceedings. The court also held that no hearing was required because the petition failed to state a proper basis for habeas relief.
