Reginald Dunahue, Appellant v. Wendy Kelley

Summary

The court dismissed Dunahue's appeal from the dismissal of his habeas petition because the Lincoln County Circuit Court lacked personal jurisdiction over the officials responsible for his custody in Lee County, making it clear that he could not prevail. His motion to file a nonconforming belated brief was therefore moot. Justice Hart, dissenting, would have addressed the briefing motion and allowed Dunahue an opportunity to correct his filing defects before dismissing the appeal.
