JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Habeas petition dismissed.

- Trial court properly dismissed an inmate's petition for habeas corpus for failing to state a claim upon which relief could be granted based on a finding that such was prematurely filed in that no governor's warrant had been issued or served from the seeking state at the time the petition was filed and the inmate had only been arrested for Georgia offenses; moreover, to the extent that the inmate might have been seeking to challenge an arrest without a warrant pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 17-13-34, insufficient facts were pled which supported such a claim. Powell v. Brown, 281 Ga. 609, 641 S.E.2d 519 (2007).
