State ex rel. Davis v. Turner
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing Appellant's habeas corpus complaint and, in a separate case, the court of appeals' order denying Appellant's motion to vacate the assessment of court costs against him, holding that the court of appeals did not err.
Appellant, an inmate, filed a complaint for a writ of habeas corpus alleging that his original sentence was partially void due to an improper inclusion of a postrelease control sanction. The court of appeals dismissed the complaint, finding that Appellant failed to state any cognizable claim for relief in habeas corpus. After Appellant was sent notice of the court's judgment against him for the payment of court costs Appellant filed a document that the court of appeals treated as a motion to vacate court costs. The court of appeals denied the motion. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) Appellant's claims were not cognizable in habeas corpus; and (2) the court of appeals properly denied Appellant's motion to vacate the judgment of court costs assessed against him.
