Fortier v. Hobbs (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseOn December 6, 2011, Appellant was found to have violated the terms of his probation and was sentenced to 300 months’ imprisonment in the Arkansas Department of Correction (ADC) to run concurrently with a sentence imposed in a federal case. The order stated that Appellant was released into the custody of the United States Marshall to serve the federal sentence. On December 15, 2011, Appellant pled guilty to rape, sexual assault in the second degree, and theft of property. In 2013, Appellant filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus in the Lincoln County Circuit Court on the grounds that, despite the December 6, 2011 order placing him in the custody of the United States Marshall, he had been returned to the ADC on the Arkansas judgments. The circuit court denied the petition. The Supreme Court dismissed Appellant’s appeal, holding that Appellant failed to meet his burden of demonstrating a basis for a writ of habeas corpus to issue.
