Supreme Court of Arkansas

Mills v. State

May 7, 20152015 Ark. 197

Summary

The court dismissed Mills’s appeal because he failed to file a required brief and did not seek an extension or permission to file belatedly, rendering his motion moot. The court also stated that the trial court lacked jurisdiction because the postconviction pleading was filed far outside the applicable time limit, and any direct challenges to the conviction were procedurally improper after the prior direct appeal. No separate opinions were filed.
