Supreme Court of Arkansas

Chambliss v. State

April 24, 20142014 Ark. 188

Summary

The court dismissed Chambliss’s appeal from the denial of his habeas petition because his claims concerned trial error, evidentiary sufficiency, the charging instrument, or ineffective assistance rather than a facially invalid judgment or lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. It held that the record showed he could not prevail, making his motion for appointed appellate counsel moot.
