Supreme Court of Arkansas

Banks v. State

October 8, 20152015 Ark. 368

Summary

The court dismissed Banks’s appeal from the denial of his motion to withdraw his guilty plea and set aside the judgment. The motion was properly treated as a postconviction petition, but it was an unauthorized successive petition and was also filed outside the jurisdictional ninety-day deadline. Because the trial court lacked jurisdiction to grant relief, the appellate court likewise lacked jurisdiction. No separate opinions were filed.
