Supreme Court of Arkansas

Michael Anderson v. Wendy Kelley

May 14, 2020600 S.W.3d 544

Summary

The court affirmed the denial and dismissal of Anderson's habeas petition. It held that charging him in an amended information, using a docket number marked to identify him, and allowing him to proceed in forma pauperis did not establish facial invalidity, lack of jurisdiction, or entitlement to habeas relief. The court also concluded that Anderson's challenge to the charging instrument repeated grounds previously rejected and therefore constituted an abuse of the writ.
