John W. Magness, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the denial and dismissal of Magness’s postconviction petition. It held that the trial court’s written findings were adequate, that Magness failed to establish deficient performance and prejudice for any ineffective-assistance claim, and that his search-and-seizure arguments were unavailable in a Rule 37.1 proceeding because they constituted trial-error challenges. The court also denied Magness’s untimely motion for oral argument.
