Supreme Court of Arkansas

Demeyer v. State

November 7, 20132013 Ark. 456

Summary

The court dismissed Demeyer's appeal from the denial of his coram-nobis petition because the record showed that he could not prevail, making his motion for an extension of time moot. It held that his allegations did not establish a coerced guilty plea and that he failed to show that the State suppressed the videotape because counsel had received or knew about it. The court also applied the abuse-of-discretion standard governing review of coram-nobis denials.
