Supreme Court of Arkansas

Cox v. State

May 14, 20152015 Ark. 209

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Cox’s Rule 37 postconviction petition because the argument she raised on appeal concerning the restrictive petition form had not been presented to the circuit court. The court held that it would not consider that argument for the first time on appeal, particularly because Cox had unused pages, could have attached additional pages, or could have sought permission to file an overlength petition.
