Mosley v. Hobbs (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseIn 1995, Appellant was convicted of rape and sentenced as a habitual offender to life imprisonment. In 2012, Appellant filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus, contending, inter alia, that his sentence of life imprisonment was illegal under Graham v. Florida because his habitual-offender status was based on prior felonies committed when he was a juvenile. The circuit court dismissed the petition. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal and declared moot Appellant's motion to file a belated reply brief on appeal, holding that Appellant did not establish that a writ of habeas corpus was warranted in his case.
