Fredrick Mason, A/k/a Frederick Dwayne Mason, Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent

Summary

The court denied Mason’s request to reinvest the trial court with jurisdiction to consider a petition for writ of error coram nobis. It held that his ineffective-assistance claims and challenge to the denial of a continuance were outside the scope of coram-nobis relief, and that his alleged Brady violation was unsupported because he did not show that the victim’s statement was favorable, suppressed, or prejudicial. No separate opinions were filed.
