Vasquez Dominique v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court granted Hayes's motion for rule on clerk after determining that his timely notice of appeal remained unperfected because appointed counsel abandoned the appeal without being relieved. It denied mandamus because counsel were not state officials or judges and an adequate remedy existed, and it denied the transcript and appointment-of-counsel motions as premature or procedurally deficient. The court directed the clerk to lodge the partial record and counsel to file a petition for writ of certiorari or lodge the record within fourteen days.
