Supreme Court of Arkansas

Myron Newjean Anderson, Jr., Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent

February 16, 20172017 Ark. LEXIS 30

Summary

The court denied Anderson's petition for permission to pursue a writ of error coram nobis and held his motion for appointment of counsel moot. His claims of prosecutorial misconduct and false testimony concerned issues that could have been raised at trial and were not cognizable in coram nobis proceedings. His Brady claim failed because he identified no favorable evidence suppressed by the State and showed no resulting prejudice, while his statutory-interpretation challenge did not allege an extraordinary coram-nobis error.
