Supreme Court of Arkansas

Michael E. Rea v. Wendy Kelley

October 29, 20202020 Ark. 347

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Rea’s habeas petition because he did not show that his judgment was facially invalid or that the trial court lacked jurisdiction. The court held that many of his claims repeated arguments previously raised, while his challenges to sentencing-order details, the charging information, the arrest, and searches concerned matters outside the cognizable scope of habeas review. No separate opinion is included in the record supplied.
