In re Grimes
Defendant filed, in propria persona, a petition for writ of habeas corpus challenging the trial court's pretrial orders prohibiting him from making telephone calls from jail. Appellant apparently contends those orders violated his constitutional rights to self-representation, access to the courts, and due process because he was unable to effectively communicate with his private investigator and otherwise prepare for trial.
Because appellant does not argue, or show, that any of the very limited exceptions to the "Dixon rule" apply in his case, court concluded that he cannot, in a petition for writ of habeas corpus, raise the contention that the trial court erred by issuing its pretrial orders prohibiting him from making telephone calls from jail. The petition is denied.
