Supreme Court of Arkansas

Cody James Malone, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

November 3, 20162016 Ark. LEXIS 309

Summary

The court dismissed Malone's appeal from orders denying relief because his claims could not succeed. It held that his clerical-error claim was a substantive, untimely postconviction claim; his illegal-sentence claim challenged the manner of imposition rather than facial illegality; and his habeas petition was properly denied for lack of jurisdiction and failure to allege a facially invalid judgment or jurisdictional defect. The dismissal rendered his motions for an extension of time and appointment of counsel moot.
