Jessie Hill v. Wendy Kelley

Summary

The court dismissed Hill’s appeal from the denial of his habeas and audita querela petitions because the Lincoln County Circuit Court lacked authority to address claims concerning a conviction entered in Grant County. The court treated the audita querela request as one for coram nobis and held that both remedies had to be pursued in the court where the conviction was entered, subject to the required permission for coram nobis proceedings after affirmance. Hill’s motions and mandamus petition were therefore moot.
