Appellant subsequently filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus in the Lincoln County circuit court where he was incarcerated. The court dismissed the petition. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal because Appellant had been transferred to Jefferson County after he filed his petition, and therefore, Appellant did not meet the procedural requirements of Act 1780 for a court to issue a writ of habeas corpus.
