Supreme Court of Arkansas

Lee Sullivan Ivory v. State of Arkansas

December 12, 20192019 Ark. 386

Summary

The court denied Ivory’s petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court for consideration of coram nobis relief because his alleged Brady violation was conclusory and did not identify specific withheld evidence, noncredible testimony, or resulting material prejudice. The court also held that a freestanding confrontation claim is not cognizable in a coram nobis proceeding, and therefore denied as moot his motions for appointment of counsel.
