Supreme Court of Arkansas

Perez v. State

March 19, 20152015 Ark. 120

Summary

The court held that Perez's request for additional jail-time credit was a collateral request to modify a sentence imposed in an illegal manner, not a challenge to a facially illegal sentence. Because the motion was filed more than ninety days after entry of the judgment, the trial court lacked jurisdiction to grant relief, and the appellate court dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
