Supreme Court of Arkansas
Luther Dillon v. State of Arkansas
May 11, 2023665 S.W.3d 235
Summary
The court affirmed the denial of Dillon’s motions and petitions because his motion to withdraw his plea was untimely and therefore treated as an unverified postconviction petition, while his later sentence challenge was also untimely and did not allege a facially illegal sentence. The court held that his sentences were within the statutory maximum and therefore legal on their face. His motions for appointment of counsel and to file a belated reply brief were rendered moot.
