Supreme Court of Arkansas

Ralph Douthitt v. Wendy Kelley

December 19, 20192019 Ark. 404

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Douthitt's petition, holding that the federal All Writs Act does not authorize Arkansas courts to provide postconviction relief and that his challenge to the admissibility of evidence from an allegedly illegal search was not cognizable in habeas proceedings. The court reviewed the circuit court's ruling for clear error and found none.
