Jarvis Shelton v. State of Mississippi

Summary

The court treated Shelton’s filing, despite its framing as a request to investigate judicial misconduct, as a post-conviction application because it challenged the validity of his convictions and sentences. It denied relief because the claims were time-barred, waived, successive, and did not satisfy any statutory exception, and it imposed an in forma pauperis filing restriction based on the frivolous nature of the filing and Shelton’s history of prior applications.
