Supreme Court of Arkansas
Kevin D. Jones v. State of Arkansas
October 10, 20192019 Ark. 272
Summary
The court affirmed the denial of Jones's petition for writ of error coram nobis because his claims that counsel gave inadequate plea advice and coerced his nolo contendere plea were not cognizable or sufficient under the narrow grounds for that writ. The court also held that his alleged withheld-evidence claim merely restated ineffective-assistance allegations and that no evidentiary hearing was required. His motion to unseal documents was therefore moot.
