Supreme Court of Arkansas

James Gray, Jr. v. State of Arkansas

March 8, 2018540 S.W.3d 658

Summary

The court dismissed Gray's appeal from the denial of coram nobis relief because his allegations could not support relief in that proceeding. Claims of ineffective assistance of counsel must be brought under the applicable postconviction procedure, and pressure arising from fear of a harsher sentence does not establish a coerced guilty plea. Gray's motion for an extension of time to file his brief was therefore moot.
