7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Robert Hudson v. Jacqueline Lashbrook

Case No.: 16‐3152

Officials: POSNER, MANION and KANNE, Circuit Judges

Focus: Court Error – Plea Deal

Appellant Robert Hudson was granted habeas relief by a federal district judge, who ordered the state of Illinois to reoffer a plea deal. State prosecutors complied with that writ, but a state judge refused to accept the deal. Since Hudson received all the relief he sought in his 2 No. 16‐3152 first habeas action, we affirm the dismissal by the district court.
