Swift v. State

Summary

The court dismissed Swift’s appeal from the denial of his petition for a writ of error coram nobis because the record showed that he could not prevail, making his motion for an extension of time to file his brief moot. It held that his ineffective-assistance, trial-error, sufficiency, competency, and alleged insanity claims either were not cognizable in coram-nobis proceedings or were unsupported by facts showing an unknown, fundamental error that prevented rendition of the judgment.
