Walter J. Sims, Jr. v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court denied Sims's second petition seeking permission to pursue a writ of error coram nobis and found his request for appointed counsel moot. It held that ineffective-assistance claims and challenges to the legality of a habitual-offender sentence are not cognizable in coram nobis proceedings because they involve matters that could have been raised earlier and are not extrinsic to the record.
