Barnett v. Burl

Appellant Matthew Barnett, an inmate incarcerated in a Department of Correction facility in Lee County, filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus in the Lee County circuit court. The court denied the petition. Appellant appealed. Before the Supreme Court was Appellant's motion for leave to file a supplemental reply brief on appeal. After the motion was filed, Appellant was released from custody and was living in Pulaski County. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal and declared the motion moot because Appellant was no longer within the jurisdiction of the circuit court in which he filed his petition.
