Supreme Court of Arkansas

Tevarius Green v. Dexter Payne

September 22, 20222022 Ark. 157

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Green’s habeas petition because his claim that the Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act’s speedy-trial period was violated alleged trial error, not a facially invalid judgment or a jurisdictional defect. The court held that such a claim is outside the scope of habeas proceedings, and the circuit court did not clearly err in dismissing the petition.
