Jimmy Don Wooten v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court denied Wooten's request to reinvest the circuit court with jurisdiction to consider coram nobis relief. It held that ineffective-assistance claims are not cognizable in coram nobis proceedings and that Wooten failed to act diligently after learning of the alleged mental disease or defect. The petition was also deficient because Wooten did not otherwise demonstrate that the writ should issue.
