Justin Isiah Burns, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court dismissed Burns's appeal for lack of jurisdiction because he pleaded guilty and his challenge to the denial of a continuance did not fall within any recognized exception permitting an appeal after a guilty plea. Burns's written plea waiver and in-court acknowledgments also waived his right to appeal. Justice Baker, dissenting, would have reached the continuance issue and affirmed, while Justice Hart, dissenting, would have reached the merits because Burns received jury sentencing after his guilty plea.
