Kenneth Jones v. State of Arkansas
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Decided March 27, 1991No. 89-2013PublishedCited by 47 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
LAY, Chief Judge.
We grant the petition for rehearing filed by the state of Arkansas; we vacate our prior opinion and now file this opinion as our amended judgment.
Kenneth Jones appeals the magistrate’s denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988). 1 Jones alleges numerous grounds for reversal. We need focus only on his claim that the state denied him due process when he was sentenced under an Arkansas statute that on its face did not apply to him. We reverse the judgment of the magistrate and order that the writ be conditionally granted. 2
