Supreme Court of Arkansas

Beyard v. State

June 1, 20172017 Ark. 203

Summary

The court dismissed Beyard’s appeal because his motion to correct or modify his sentence was an untimely request for postconviction relief under Rule 37. His claims challenged the manner in which the sentence was imposed, not whether the sentence was facially illegal, and therefore had to be filed within ninety days after entry of judgment. The court also held that his requests for an evidentiary hearing, transportation, and counsel were moot.
