Supreme Court of Arkansas

Eric Johnson v. Wendy Kelley

June 20, 2019577 S.W.3d 710

Summary

The court dismissed Johnson's habeas appeal because his sentences were authorized by statute and therefore were not illegal on the face of the judgment, and the alleged failure to pronounce sentence in open court was a nonjurisdictional plea-proceeding error. Because Johnson could not prevail on the record, the court also treated his pending motions as moot.
