Supreme Court of Arkansas

Cordero v. Ark. Dep't of Human Servs.

February 13, 20142014 Ark. 64

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Cordero's request for appointed appellate counsel because he failed to establish indigency. Although the circuit court inaccurately recalled that Cordero had testified to a specific monthly income, that evidence was admitted by judicial notice without objection, and Cordero's own submission was unsworn. The court held that, on the evidence before the circuit court, its finding was not an abuse of discretion.
