Lee Charles Millsap, A/k/a Lee Charles Millsap, Jr., Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court dismissed the appeal from the denial of Millsap’s coram-nobis petition because the record showed that he could not prevail, making his motion for an extension of time and petition for certiorari moot. It held that ineffective-assistance claims belong in a Rule 37.1 proceeding, not coram-nobis proceedings, and that Millsap failed to identify an extrinsic fact supporting relief based on insanity or coercion. The court also concluded that counsel’s advice about a potentially harsher sentence did not constitute coram-nobis coercion.
