Sims v. State

Summary

The court denied Sims's petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the circuit court to consider a writ of error coram nobis. It held that ineffective-assistance claims are not cognizable in coram-nobis proceedings and that coram nobis cannot substitute for the established postconviction procedure. Because Sims alleged no cognizable coram-nobis ground, the court declined to consider his diligence assertion.
