Carlton Lamont Chaney, Sr. v. Warden 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.
