| Topic: | Post-conviction relief - Subject matter jurisdiction |
| Summary of the Facts: | Terrance Guinn pled guilty to possession of cocaine and sentenced to three years. Guinn filed a motion for post-conviction relief which was denied. He appeals. |
| Summary of Opinion Analysis: | Guinn argues that the circuit court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over his case because section 41-29-139, which is part of Mississippi’s version of the Uniform Controlled Substances Law, was never properly enacted by the Legislature. Guinn apparently wrongly believes that the Uniform Controlled Substances Law is federal administrative law. There is nothing to indicate that the passage of the Uniform Controlled Substances Law in this state was deficient. |
