Roberson v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAppellant entered a plea of guilty in Howard County to breaking or entering and theft of property. While incarcerated, Appellant filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus contending that Howard County did not have jurisdiction in this case because the information and warrants leading to Appellant's arrest were not signed by the circuit judge and stamped with the judge's seal and that the arrest was illegal. The circuit court denied the petition. The Supreme Court dismissed Appellant's appeal and declared the motions Appellant filed in relation to that appeal moot, holding that Appellant did not establish that a writ of habeas corpus was warranted in this case, as Appellant failed to assert allegations that were cognizable in a habeas proceeding.
