Supreme Court of Arkansas

Rhoades v. State

March 31, 20162016 Ark. 142

Summary

The court dismissed the appeal from the denial of Rhoades’s postconviction petition because the petition was filed well outside the applicable sixty-day deadline. It rejected his argument that enforcing the deadline against a pro se litigant was fundamentally unfair, concluding that due process does not require unlimited opportunities for postconviction litigation.
