No. 34273.

678 S.E.2d 470 (2009)

Michael O'Dell DENNIS, Petitioner Below, Appellant v. STATE of West Virginia, DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS, Teresa Waid, Warden, Huttonsville Correctional Center, Respondents Below, Appellees.

Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia.

Decided May 14, 2009.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Andrew M. Price, Esq., Smith, Price & Pangburn, Wheeling, WV, for Appellant.

Scott R. Smith, Esq., Prosecuting Attorney, Wheeling, WV, for Appellees.

Darrell V. McGraw, Jr., Esq., Attorney General, John H. Boothroyd, Esq., Assistant Attorney General, Charleston, WV, for Amicus Curiae, West Virginia Parole Board.

PER CURIAM.

Michael O'Dell Dennis, the appellant, appeals the April 3, 2008, order of the Circuit Court of Ohio County that denied the appellant's habeas corpus petition in which the appellant challenged his sentence. Because we find that the circuit court's order is insufficient for meaningful review, we reverse and remand for the circuit court to make specific findings of facts and conclusions of law to support its ruling.1
