Rolandis Chatmon v. Wendy Kelley

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Chatmon's petition to proceed in forma pauperis because his habeas petition did not state a colorable cause of action. His challenge to the trial judge's authority was not cognizable in habeas proceedings and lacked merit under the governing constitutional provision. The court also denied two post-briefing motions because one improperly sought judicial notice of materials outside the appellate record and the other presented new factual and legal support.
