Michael D. Muldrow v. Wendy Kelley

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Muldrow's request to proceed in forma pauperis because his habeas petition did not state a colorable cause of action. The court held that the county where Muldrow filed could not consider his statutory new-scientific-evidence claims, and that his prosecutorial-misconduct and actual-innocence claims were not cognizable grounds for habeas relief outside that statutory procedure. His motion for an extension of time to file his brief was therefore moot.
