Supreme Court of Arkansas

Curtis Colston v. Wendy Kelley

March 7, 2019568 S.W.3d 265

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Colston's habeas petition because his claims concerned trial and appellate errors rather than the facial invalidity of his judgment or the trial court's jurisdiction. Although the circuit court correctly determined that the petition would have been untimely under Rule 37.1, it was not the proper trial court for such a petition; nevertheless, the petition was properly denied because it stated no cognizable habeas claim.
