Jones v. Hobbs (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAppellant was a prisoner serving a life sentence on a capital-murder conviction. Appellant filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus in the circuit court of the county where he was incarcerated, claiming that the process of service of the felony information charging him with the crime was constitutionally infirm. The circuit court denied the petition. Appellant lodged an appeal of the circuit court's order and filed a motion seeking an extension of time in which to file his brief-in-chief. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal and declared the motion moot, holding that Appellant's allegations of constitutional violations involving the process of charging him were not the type of error cognizable in a proceeding for the writ.
