Supreme Court of Arkansas

Tracy Lee Bryant v. State of Arkansas

June 6, 2019575 S.W.3d 547

Summary

The court denied Bryant’s request for permission to pursue a belated appeal because his coram nobis petition was wholly without merit and he could not prevail on appeal. The court held that his ineffective-assistance claim was not cognizable in coram nobis proceedings, while his competency and coerced-plea claims lacked factual allegations establishing grounds for the writ. The remaining motions were deemed moot.
