Supreme Court of Arkansas

Croston v. State

December 5, 20132013 Ark. 504

Summary

The court dismissed Croston’s appeal from the denial of his petition for a writ of error coram nobis because it was clear that he could not prevail. His allegations concerned alleged trial errors involving psychological evaluations and mental deficiency, which were matters that could have been raised at trial or on direct appeal and therefore were outside the scope of coram-nobis relief. The pending motion for an extension of time to file his brief was consequently moot.
