Supreme Court of Arkansas

Terrance Manuel v. State of Arkansas

February 11, 20212021 Ark. 24

Summary

The court dismissed Manuel's appeal for lack of jurisdiction. It held that his motion to enforce the plea agreement was an untimely postconviction petition and that his notice of appeal was filed more than thirty days after the denial of that petition. The court also declined to consider his motion for clarification because it was absent from the record and therefore could not establish a valid exception extending the appeal period.
