West Virginia Prisoners Can’t use State FOIA for Discovery in State Habeas Actions
On appeal, the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia held that prisoners challenging their convictions in state Habeas actions could obtain discovery only under W.Va. Post-Conviction Habeas Corpus Proc. R. 7(a). Thus, the Court affirmed the trial court’s dismissal of these actions. See: State ex rel. Wyant and Valentine, 214 W.Va. 434; 589 S.E.2d 812 (2003).
