Danny Stalnaker v. Wendy Kelley

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Stalnaker’s habeas petition because he failed to show that his conviction was facially invalid or that the trial court lacked personal or subject-matter jurisdiction. His claim that the trial judge was later accused of ethical and criminal violations did not establish that he was illegally detained or provide a basis for habeas relief. The court also denied his motion to file a belated reply brief.
