State ex rel. Jackson v. Ambrose
Annotate this CaseThe Supreme Court affirmed the court of appeals’ denial of Appellant’s petition for writs of mandamus and prohibition. In his original action for writs of mandamus and prohibition, Appellant alleged, among other things, that the judge who presided over his 1981 jury trial had never pronounced judgment or sentenced him. The court of appeals granted summary judgment for Defendants and denied the requested writs. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) with one possible exception, the claims Appellant was making were barred by res judicata; and (2) summary judgment was proper on the only allegation that Appellant raised in the present case that may not have already been litigated.
