Supreme Court of Arkansas

Donald Felix Winnett, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

April 2, 20152015 Ark. LEXIS 163

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Winnett's two motions because, despite their labels, they constituted an untimely collateral attack under Rule 37.1 and also asserted direct challenges that should have been raised when he entered his guilty plea. The court held that the appellate motion seeking sentence reduction was procedurally unavailable and dismissed it, while deeming the requests for a supplemental brief and hearing moot.
