Supreme Court of Arkansas

Swanigan v. State

October 8, 20152015 Ark. 371

Summary

The court denied Swanigan’s second petition for permission to pursue coram-nobis relief and his motion seeking production of documents. It held that Swanigan failed to allege specific facts showing that material favorable evidence was suppressed and that his claim concerning allegedly false or recanted testimony was not cognizable in a coram-nobis proceeding. The court also held that it had no procedural basis to assist him in gathering factual support for the petition.
