Supreme Court of Arkansas

Morgan v. State

September 19, 20132013 Ark. 341

Summary

The court dismissed Morgan’s appeal from the denial of his error-coram-nobis petitions because the record showed that he could not prevail, and it held his requests to supplement the record and extend briefing time moot. The court concluded that alleged parole-related misinformation by counsel amounted to ineffective assistance rather than a hidden fact supporting coram-nobis relief, and that the additional Brady and sentencing-statute arguments likewise did not qualify for that remedy.
