Stanley v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAppellant entered a negotiated plea of guilty to robbery and overdraft. The circuit court sentenced Appellant to 300 months' imprisonment to run consecutive to his parole violation. Appellant appealed and filed motions for transcript and for extension of time to file brief. Appellant subsequently filed a pro se petition to correct an illegal sentence, which the circuit court denied as untimely. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal and mooted the motions, holding (1) the claims raised in Appellant's petition did not allege an illegal type of sentence that was jurisdictional in nature, but rather made allegations that should have been raised at trial or in a timely petition pursuant to Ark. R. Crim. P. 37.1; and (2) Appellant's petition was also untimely under Ark. Code Ann. 16-90-111.
