David W. Engstrom, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court dismissed Engstrom's appeal from the denial of postconviction relief because he could not prevail on either judgment. The petition was untimely as to the earlier judgment and failed to state a cognizable or adequately supported ineffective-assistance claim as to the later judgment. The court also concluded that counsel had no duty to advise Engstrom of a direct appeal from his guilty-plea judgment because no applicable exception was alleged.
