Pitts v. Hobbs (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of second-degree sexual assault and sexual indecency with a child. Appellant later filed a pro se petition for declaratory judgment and for writ of mandamus seeking to challenge the calculation of his parole eligibility. The circuit court dismissed the petition. Appellant appealed and filed a pleading arguing that his sentence should be dismissed as unconstitutional on the ground that the trial judge did not follow federal sentencing guidelines. Appellant also argued that the circuit court lacked jurisdiction and that he was being held pursuant to an invalid conviction. The Supreme Court dismissed the motion and affirmed the circuit court's order, holding that Appellant failed to show he was entitled to declaratory judgment or a writ of mandamus, and his motion was without merit.
