Supreme Court of Arkansas

Hollis Devin Martz v. John Felts, Chairman, Arkansas Board of Parole

October 24, 20192019 Ark. 297

Summary

The court denied Martz's untimely motion to file a supplemental brief and affirmed the denial of his petition for a writ of mandamus. It held that mandamus could not be used to compel or review the discretionary revocation of parole, and the circuit court therefore did not abuse its discretion. The court also rejected Martz's challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence as a basis for mandamus relief.
