Supreme Court of Arkansas
Adam Davis, Jr., Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent
March 2, 20172017 Ark. LEXIS 63
Summary
The court dismissed Davis’s third petition seeking permission to reinvest the trial court with jurisdiction to consider coram-nobis relief, concluding that his repeated and newly asserted claims were either procedurally barred, not cognizable in coram-nobis proceedings, or unsupported by sufficient facts. The court held that Davis did not identify new extrinsic information undermining the competency determination or establish a reasonable probability that his claims would succeed. His motion to respond to the State’s response was moot.
