Supreme Court of Arkansas
Delarron Washington v. State of Arkansas
February 4, 2021614 S.W.3d 817
Summary
The court denied Washington’s third petition seeking permission to pursue coram nobis relief. It held that the petition repeated the same ineffective-assistance claim based on counsel’s suspended license and alleged no additional facts distinguishing it from his prior petitions, making it an abuse of the writ. The court also noted that the proper remedy for the claim was a timely postconviction petition under Rule 37.1, which Washington had not pursued.
