Gecoba L. Tilson v. Wendy Kelley

Summary

The court dismissed Tilson's appeal from the dismissal of his habeas petition because his claims did not establish that the judgment was facially invalid or that the trial court lacked jurisdiction. The incorrect victim name in the information did not invalidate the charging document, and Tilson's inadequate-notice and surprise-witness claims were alleged trial errors that were not cognizable in habeas proceedings. His motions for additional time and for a copy of the record were therefore moot.
