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.
