Supreme Court of Arkansas

Myers v. State

October 10, 20132013 Ark. 404

Summary

The court denied the joint petition seeking to reinvest the circuit court with jurisdiction to consider coram-nobis petitions. It held that the asserted allocution, ineffective-assistance, and speedy-trial claims could not support coram-nobis relief because they were either outside the writ's permissible scope or could have been raised at trial or on direct appeal.
