Supreme Court of Arkansas

Elgin King v. State of Arkansas

April 15, 20212021 Ark. 84

Summary

The court denied King's petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the circuit court to consider coram nobis relief. It held that his prosecutorial-vindictiveness claim concerned matters apparent from the record and therefore was not cognizable in coram nobis, while his challenge to the habitual-offender sentence was an illegal-sentence claim for which coram nobis was not the proper remedy. No separate opinions were filed.
