Supreme Court of Arkansas

Green v. State

January 23, 20142014 Ark. 30

Summary

The court dismissed Green’s appeal from the denial of his habeas petition because his claims could not establish that the conviction was facially invalid or that the trial court lacked jurisdiction. Claims concerning an illegal search, illegal arrest, insufficient evidence, and ineffective assistance of counsel were not cognizable in habeas proceedings. Because the record showed that Green could not prevail, his motion for an extension of time to file his brief was moot.
