Supreme Court of Arkansas

Rolandis Chatmon v. Dexter Payne

May 11, 2023665 S.W.3d 231

Summary

The court affirmed the denial and dismissal of Chatmon’s habeas petition because he did not show that the judgment was facially invalid, that the trial court lacked jurisdiction, or probable cause that he was illegally detained. The court rejected his challenges to the trial judge’s authority, appointment and election, asserted due-process entitlement to additional records, and authority to hear nonjuvenile matters. No separate opinions were filed.
