TERRANCE PROCTOR v. WENDY KELLEY
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Decided December 20, 2018No. CV-18-144PublishedCited by 4 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtCourtney Hudson Goodson, Associate Justice
Appellant, Terrance Proctor, who is currently serving a cumulative 240-year sentence, appeals the circuit court's denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. For reversal, Proctor argues (1) that the circuit court's dismissal of his petition was clearly erroneous because it fails to address whether he has a "meaningful opportunity of release" pursuant to Graham v. Florida , 560 U.S. 48 , 130 S.Ct. 2011 , 176 L.Ed.2d 825 (2010), and (2) that the circuit court erred by dismissing his petition due to the disproportionality of his sentence. We affirm.
