Passanisi v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that this court had jurisdiction over a post-conviction motion to modify sentence as the functional equivalent of a motion for a new trial because both motions were “based on the claim that the factual underpinnings of the district court’s decision are incorrect”
• discussing circumstances when a petition for a writ of habeas corpus would not be an appropriate remedy
• because the availability of an honor camp was not a mistake concerning the appellant’s record, and the appellant’s sentence was not illegal, district court had no authority to modify appellant’s sentence after he began to serve the sentence
