Supreme Court of Arkansas

Rice v. State

May 15, 20142014 Ark. 230

Summary

The court denied Rice's motions to supplement or settle the appellate record and dismissed his appeal from the denial of Rule 37.1 postconviction relief. It held that his ineffective-assistance claims were refuted by the record or conclusory and that his prosecutorial-misconduct and due-process claims were trial-error claims not cognizable in a postconviction proceeding. Because Rice could not prevail on appeal, the remaining motions were moot.
