Threadford v. Hobbs
Annotate this CasePetitioner Bobby Threadford was found guilty of aggravated robbery, residential burglary, fleeing, second-degree forgery, and two counts of theft of property. Petitioner was sentenced as a habitual offender. Petitioner then filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus, arguing that the felony information in his case was flawed and that he should not have been found to be a habitual offender. The circuit court dismissed the petition on the grounds that it did not raise an issue cognizable in a habeas proceeding. Petitioner then filed a motion that referred to a writ of prohibition, which the Supreme Court treated as a motion for belated appeal. The Court denied the motion, holding that the petition did not demonstrate that the trial court was without jurisdiction in this case and that Appellant's nonjurisdictional challenges to the sufficiency of the information were not cognizable as grounds for a writ of habeas corpus.
