Frank Watts, Appellant v. Wendy Kelley

Summary

The court held that Watts's appeal concerned only the circuit court's order denying his petition to proceed in forma pauperis, because habeas proceedings are not subject to the deemed-denied provision invoked by Watts. Although the court explained that the three-strikes restriction does not bar a habeas petitioner from proceeding as a pauper, it dismissed the appeal because Watts failed to challenge the only appealable order or develop an argument showing error. No separate opinions were filed.
