Burgie v. Hobbs (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAppellant was convicted of capital murder and aggravated robbery and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. Appellant subsequently filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus, alleging that the judgment-and-commitment order was invalid on its face and that the circuit court lacked jurisdiction. The circuit court denied the petition. Appellant appealed and filed several motions and a petition for writ of mandamus related to the appeal. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal and declared the motions and petition for writ of mandamus moot, holding that Appellant did not meet his burden of demonstrating a basis for a writ of habeas corpus to issue because his claims did not challenge the facial validity of the judgment and failed to demonstrate a lack of the trial court's jurisdiction.
