Supreme Court of Arkansas

Jeffrey Brown v. State of Arkansas

May 19, 2022644 S.W.3d 247

Summary

The court granted Brown's motion for belated appeal from the dismissal of his habeas-corpus petition. It held that the circuit court's factual findings and legal conclusion that counsel failed to act reasonably were not clearly erroneous, particularly because counsel did not establish a limitation on representation, withdraw, or obtain an affirmative waiver of the right to appeal.
