James E. Smith, Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent

Summary

The court denied Smith’s fourth application for permission to pursue coram-nobis relief because his challenges to the arrest warrant and criminal information concerned alleged defects that were part of the record and could have been raised at trial. The court also held that those alleged defects did not establish a lack of subject-matter jurisdiction or invalidate the conviction. Smith’s motion for appointment of counsel was deemed moot because the application lacked merit.
