Supreme Court of Arkansas

Cook v. State

October 6, 20162016 Ark. 328

Summary

The court dismissed Cook’s appeal from the denial of postconviction relief because his Rule 37.1 petition was filed well beyond the applicable ninety-day deadline following his guilty plea. Because the record established that Cook could not prevail on appeal, his pending motions for an extension of time, a transcript, and appointed counsel were moot.
