Larry Rayford v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court denied Rayford’s fifth petition seeking permission to pursue coram nobis relief and his alternative request for certiorari. The coram nobis claim was an abuse of the writ because it repackaged allegations previously rejected and did not allege facts distinguishing the new petition. Certiorari was unavailable because the judge’s posttrial order was discretionary, did not constitute a plain and gross abuse of discretion, and could have been challenged when entered.
