Jason Farmer v. Dexter Payne

Summary

The court affirmed the dismissal of Jason Farmer’s habeas petition. It held that the circuit court had jurisdiction because the petition was file-marked and docketed even though the court had not first ruled on Farmer’s in forma pauperis request, and that Farmer’s claims were not cognizable because they did not challenge the trial court’s jurisdiction, the facial validity of the judgment, or an excessive sentence.
