Kelvin Collier v. Wendy Kelley

Summary

The court affirmed the denial and dismissal of Kelvin Collier's habeas petition because his alleged misnomer in the charging documents and judgment orders did not make the judgments facially invalid or deprive the trial court of jurisdiction. The court also held that challenges to alleged trial or guilty-plea errors, including an actual-innocence claim based on insufficient evidence, are not cognizable in habeas proceedings. The court reviewed the circuit court's decision for clear error.
