Bell v. McConahay
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the court of appeals denying Michael Bell's petition seeking a writ of habeas against the warden of the Mansfield Correctional Institution (MCI) and denied Bell's motion to reverse and vacate the judgment against him, holding that Bell was not entitled to relief.
Bell, an inmate at MCI, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus against MCI's warden, presenting several arguments to support his claim for relief. The court of appeals granted the warden's motion to dismiss for failure to state a valid claim for relief in habeas corpus. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Bell could not establish that he was entitled to habeas relief under any of the theories he presented.
