Poland v. Kelley (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseIn 2009, Appellant pleaded guilty to forty counts of rape, twenty counts of possession of child pornography, and one count of failure to appear. In 2015, Appellant filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus, alleging more than one hundred paragraphs of grounds supporting issuance of the writ. The circuit court denied Appellant’s petition on the ground that Appellant made no allegation that his judgment and commitment was invalid on its face or that the trial court lacked jurisdiction. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court correctly determined that Appellant did not allege grounds in his petition on which the writ could be granted.
