Supreme Court of Arkansas

Raglon v. State

May 19, 20162016 Ark. 219

Summary

The court treated Raglon’s motion for belated appeal as a motion for rule on clerk because his notice of appeal was timely. It granted the motion, appointed appellate counsel, and issued a writ of certiorari requiring completion of the appellate record because the trial court had relieved appointed counsel without appointing replacement counsel. The court held that this failure deprived an indigent defendant of counsel for a direct appeal as of right.
