James Edward Whitney, Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent

Summary

The court treated Whitney's petition for review of the clerk's refusal to file the record as a motion for rule on clerk and dismissed it. Whitney sought to eliminate or defer fines, fees, and costs imposed in his criminal judgment, but he did not allege that his sentences were illegal or illegally imposed. Because the sentence had been entered and put into execution, the circuit court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction to modify it, making an appeal from the denial of relief futile.
