Ratchford v. State

Summary

The court denied permission to pursue a writ of error coram nobis because the petitioner’s claim that counsel failed to communicate a plea offer was an ineffective-assistance claim, which is not cognizable in coram-nobis proceedings. The court declined to expand coram-nobis relief and also rejected requests for certiorari, recall of the mandate, or an order requiring the prosecutor to reoffer the expired plea. The motion to proceed in forma pauperis was moot because no filing fee was required.
