Rivers v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAppellant pled guilty to multiple felony offenses and was sentenced to an aggregate term of 420 months' imprisonment. Appellant subsequently filed in the Mississippi County trial court a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus and a pro se motion to rescind the plea agreement he entered when he pled guilty. Appellant was incarcerated in Lee County when he filed the habeas corpus petition. The trial court denied both pleadings. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that because Appellant was not incarcerated within the jurisdiction of the trial court in Mississippi County when he filed the petition, the court did not have personal jurisdiction to issue and make returnable a writ.
