Chaney v. Humphrey

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
DELTA DIVISION
CARLTON LAMONT CHANEY, SR. 	PETITIONER
#04860-028
v. 	CASE NO. 2:25-CV-00140-BSM
WARDEN HUMPHREY 	RESPONDENT
ORDER
After careful review of the record, United States Magistrate Judge Patricia S. Harris’s
recommended disposition [Doc. No. 12] is adopted, and Warden Humphrey’s motion to
dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction [Doc. No. 6] is granted because Carlton
Chaney’s petition does not challenge either the validity of his sentence or the duration of his
confinement. Kruger v. Erickson, 77 F.3d 1071, 1073 (8th Cir. 1996) (if a prisoner is not
challenging the validity of his conviction or length of his detention, then writ of habeas
corpus is not the proper remedy) (citing Preiser v. Rodriguez, 411 U.S. 475, 499 (1973)).
IT IS SO ORDERED this 24th day of October, 2025.
