Tucker v. State
Annotate this CaseA jury found Appellant Kenneth Tucker guilty of two counts of delivery of a controlled substance. The court of appeals affirmed. Appellant subsequently filed a pro se petition for postconviction relief, which the trial court denied. Before the Supreme Court was Appellant's petition for writ of certiorari to complete the record and his amended motion for a copy of the record, appointment of counsel, and a stay of the briefing schedule. The Court dismissed the appeal and declared the motion and petition moot, holding that the petition for postconviction relief was not properly verified because the petition did not include the appropriate affidavit required by Ark. R. Crim. P. 37.1 and there was not explicit leave from the trial court for Appellant to file an unverified petition.
