Supreme Court of Arkansas
Rodney Fletcher, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee
March 12, 20152015 Ark. LEXIS 137
Summary
The court affirmed the denial of Rodney Fletcher's Rule 37.1 postconviction petition. It held that challenges to evidentiary sufficiency, trial errors, discovery violations, and the Brady claim were not cognizable in a collateral proceeding, and that the sentencing-order correction merely conformed the order to the sentence actually imposed. The court also rejected Fletcher's ineffective-assistance claims because he did not establish deficient performance and resulting prejudice under the applicable two-prong standard.
