Description
The appellant, George E. Chatfield, seeks review of the district court's discharge of a writ of habeas corpus issued on the appellant's pro se petition. In his petition, Chatfield alleged that his 1977 prosecutions in Jefferson County for conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery, attempted aggravated robbery, felony menacing, and first degree kidnapping were barred by section 18-1-303(1)(b), 8B C.R.S. (1986),*fn1 because of the previous dismissal of a federal charge of bank robbery arising from the same incident. The district court discharged the writ without addressing the merits of Chatfield's section 18-1-303(1)(b) claim. We conclude that the district court erred in failing to address the applicability of section 18-1-303(1)(b). However, we determine that Chatfield's claim finds no support in the statute, and we therefore affirm the dismissal of his petition.
