Calvin Lee Marshall, Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent

Summary

The court denied Marshall’s motion seeking permission to proceed with an appeal from the denial of his Act 1780 petition. Because his notice of appeal was timely, the court treated the motion as a motion for rule on clerk, but concluded that the record was tendered after the applicable deadline and that Marshall could not prevail because his petition did not identify specific evidence for scientific testing. The court also noted that the petition included claims outside Act 1780’s limited scope.
