Anderson v. Kelley (Majority, with Concurring)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the order of the circuit court denying and dismissing Appellant's pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus, holding that there was no error.
Specifically, the Supreme Court held that the circuit court correctly denied Appellant's claim that he was being illegally detained because (1) by raising the same allegations that Appellant had already considered, Appellant abused the writ; (2) Appellant did not establish that there was error in the judgment of conviction that deprived the trial court of jurisdiction in the matter or rendered the judgment invalid; and (3) the fact that the circuit court permitted Appellant to proceed with his habeas petition without paying a filing fee was not tantamount to issuance of the writ.
