Supreme Court of Arkansas
Green v. State
November 7, 20132013 Ark. 455
Summary
The court affirmed the denial without a hearing of Green’s postconviction petition because the record showed that none of his claims warranted relief under Rule 37.1. It held that counsel’s failure to object to the sentencing report did not establish prejudice, that counsel’s defense strategy was reasonable, and that the remaining claims were either procedurally barred, conclusory, unsupported, or not cognizable in postconviction proceedings. The court also held that Green’s motions were moot.
