Bruce Wayne Brown, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court accepted that the Rule 37.1 petition was substantially verified, resolving the verification issue after the second remand. It held that the trial court's original summary-denial order was legally insufficient because it lacked the written findings required for summary disposition, and it reversed and remanded for a compliant order. The court also determined that the trial court exceeded the limited scope of the remand by conducting proceedings on the petition's merits while the appeal remained pending.
