Supreme Court of Arkansas

Delarron Keith Washington v. State of Arkansas

September 11, 20142014 Ark. LEXIS 472

Summary

The court denied Washington's second petition seeking to reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court for coram-nobis relief. It held that ineffective-assistance claims, sufficiency-of-the-evidence claims, and the asserted grounds for recalling the direct-appeal mandate were not cognizable or sufficient under the governing standards. The court also declined to expand coram-nobis relief based on the asserted federal authority.
