Supreme Court of Arkansas

Ronnie Johnson, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

October 6, 20162016 Ark. LEXIS 273

Summary

The court dismissed Johnson’s appeal from the denial of coram-nobis and illegal-sentence relief because the record showed that he could not prevail. It held that his allegations concerning counsel’s failure to obtain surveillance video asserted ineffective assistance, which is not cognizable in a coram-nobis proceeding, and that his allegations did not establish a coerced guilty plea or a facially illegal sentence. The dismissal rendered his motion for a transcribed record and extension of time moot.
