Supreme Court of Arkansas

Williams v. State

January 29, 20152015 Ark. 33

Summary

The court dismissed Williams's appeal from the denial of his untimely postconviction petition because the petition was filed more than four years after the appellate mandate, well beyond the applicable sixty-day jurisdictional deadline. The court also held that his motion for a copy of the appellate record was moot, and that any issue concerning his request to proceed in forma pauperis was moot because he had perfected the appeal.
