Hutson v. Quarterman

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• reasoning that “[c]omity ... dictates that the federal courts give Texas courts the time to review these DNA claims and provide necessary relief without forcing convicted persons to choose between the two systems thereby undermining the remedy the Texas legisla ture has provided”
• the key inquiry is whether a motion seeks “review” of the judgment for which petitioner was incarcerated
• “Though Thompson filed motions for records, transcripts, and discovery requests in 2015 before the limitations period expired, those motions did not constitute ‘properly filed’ motions for post- conviction or other collateral relief.”
