Walter Sims v. Wendy Kelley

Summary

The court affirmed the dismissal of Walter Sims's habeas petition because his claim that a deputy prosecuting attorney signed the felony information did not establish that the judgment was facially invalid or that the trial court lacked jurisdiction. The court held that an information signed by a deputy is not void and that the alleged defect was not cognizable in habeas proceedings. The circuit court therefore did not clearly err in denying relief.
