Morgan v. State
Annotate this CaseAppellant Jeff Morgan was found guilty by a jury of kidnapping, a Class Y felony, and second-degree battery and was sentenced as a habitual offender to an aggregate term of life imprisonment. Appellant subsequently filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus. The petition was denied without a hearing. Appellant appealed and filed a motion seeking photocopies of his brief-in-chief at public expense. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal and declared the motion moot, holding that the circuit court did not err in denying the relief sought because Appellant's petition did not state a basis to warrant issuance of the writ.
