Supreme Court of Arkansas

Martin v. State

April 24, 20142014 Ark. 187

Summary

The court denied Martin’s motion to lodge the record belatedly and proceed with his appeal from the denial of his sentence-correction petition. It held that Martin, even though proceeding pro se and incarcerated, failed to establish good cause for not tendering the record within the required period. The court rejected his attempts to shift responsibility to the circuit clerk or prison authorities.
