Zachry v. Hobbs (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAppellant filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus in the Jackson County Circuit Court, stating that she was incarcerated at a facility in Jackson County. Appellant was subsequently transferred to a facility in a different county. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, holding that because a circuit court does not have jurisdiction to release on a writ of habeas corpus a prisoner not in custody in that court's jurisdiction, the Jackson County Circuit Court lacked personal jurisdiction over Petitioner where she was no longer incarcerated in the county where her petition was filed.
