Khalid Ryahim Alexander, Appellant v. Wendy Kelley

Summary

The court dismissed Alexander’s appeal from the denial of habeas relief because he could not establish that his conviction or sentence was facially invalid, that the trial court lacked jurisdiction, or probable cause that he was illegally detained. The court held that the constitutional rule concerning mandatory life-without-parole sentences for juvenile offenders did not apply because Alexander was eighteen when he committed the offense and his sentence was not mandatory. His motions concerning briefing were therefore moot.
