Ivory Joe Love v. Wendy Kelley

Summary

The court dismissed Love's appeal from the dismissal of his habeas petition because the petition alleged no facial invalidity of the judgment, jurisdictional defect, or other basis for finding that he was illegally detained. Love's claim that he misunderstood the sentence associated with his guilty plea was a challenge to the plea proceeding that had to be raised through the applicable postconviction procedure, not habeas corpus. His motion for an extension of time to file his brief was therefore moot.
