Supreme Court of Arkansas

Martinez-Marmol v. State

October 31, 20132013 Ark. 436

Summary

The court denied the petitioner's request for copies of appellate materials at public expense because indigency alone does not establish a compelling need tied to a specific, timely postconviction claim. It also declined to address his requested extension for filing a postconviction petition because jurisdiction over such a petition rested with the trial court, and the governing rule did not permit extensions. The opinion contains no separate opinion text.
