Dean v. Marquis

The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the court of appeals dismissing Appellant’s petition for writ of habeas corpus, holding that the court of appeals correctly dismissed the writ for failure to state a claim upon which habeas relief can be granted.In his complaint for a writ of habeas corpus Appellant alleged that the Interstate Agreement of Detainers (IAD) required the state to bring him to trial within 180 days, and because the state failed to do so, the common pleas court lacked jurisdiction to try him. The Supreme Court held (1) a violation of the IAD speedy-trial requirement is not jurisdiction and may be remedied by way of direct appeal; and (2) Appellant was not entitled to relief on his remaining propositions of law.
