Michael Shane Winters, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The Supreme Court of Arkansas dismissed Michael Shane Winters's appeal from the denial of his postconviction petition because his ineffective-assistance allegations were conclusory and did not establish actual prejudice or a reasonable probability of a different result. The court also concluded that the record refuted several allegations and that Winters identified no specific meritorious grounds for relief. His motion for an extension of time to file his brief was therefore moot.
