Dennis Van Jenkins, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court dismissed Jenkins’s appeal from the denial of his petition to correct an illegal sentence because his double-jeopardy challenge concerned the allegedly improper imposition of the sentences, not a sentence illegal on its face. That claim was cognizable under Rule 37.1 and therefore subject to the rule’s time limitations, and the sentences were authorized by law and within the applicable maximums. His motion for appointment of counsel and a stay was moot.
