Charles Schrader, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed denial of Charles Schrader’s petition for a writ of error coram nobis. It held that his claim that counsel prevented him from accepting a more favorable plea offer was an ineffective-assistance claim, which is not cognizable in a coram-nobis proceeding and cannot be used to evade the expired deadline for ordinary postconviction relief. The court also rejected his argument that later decisions concerning plea bargaining required retroactive relief and upheld denial without an evidentiary hearing. No separate opinions were filed.
