Supreme Court of Arkansas

David E. Lewis v. State of Arkansas

May 31, 20122012 Ark. LEXIS 267

Summary

The court granted the petitioner's motion for rule on clerk and permitted his postconviction appeal to proceed. It held that a timely request for a ruling on an unresolved issue in a postconviction petition extends the time for filing the notice of appeal, so the notice was deemed filed after the supplemental order and the record was timely tendered.
