Rodney Lee Mitchael v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court denied Mitchael's habeas petition, motion to recall the mandate, request to pursue coram nobis relief, and motion to join claims. It held that his habeas petition had to be filed first in the circuit court and that his coram nobis allegations neither identified facts extrinsic to the record nor presented claims cognizable in coram nobis proceedings. The court also concluded that ineffective-assistance, trial-error, prosecutorial-misconduct, and allegedly illegal-sentence claims must be pursued through other procedures.
