Edwards v. State

Summary

The court dismissed the appeal from the denial of Floyd Edwards’s coram-nobis petition because the record showed that he could not prevail, rendering his motion for an extension of time moot. It held that ineffective-assistance claims belong in a timely Rule 37.1 proceeding, that lack of knowledge about immigration consequences is not an extrinsic error cognizable in coram-nobis proceedings, and that Edwards failed to establish the coercion required for coram-nobis relief.
