Supreme Court of Arkansas

Toombs v. State

December 10, 20152015 Ark. 471

Summary

The court dismissed Toombs's appeal from the denial of his second postconviction petition because he could not prevail. Under the governing postconviction procedure, all available grounds must be raised in the original petition, and a later petition is barred when the first petition was not denied without prejudice. His motions for additional time to file a brief were therefore moot.
