Supreme Court of Arkansas

Edmond McClinton v. State of Arkansas

April 12, 2018542 S.W.3d 859

Summary

The court dismissed the appeal from the denial of postconviction relief because the appellant's claims were either not cognizable in a Rule 37 proceeding or failed to establish ineffective assistance of counsel. The court held that alleged defects in arrest, pretrial proceedings, charging, and evidentiary sufficiency did not constitute fundamental error or cause prejudice, and the trial court was not clearly erroneous. The motions to supplement the appellate materials were therefore moot.
