Green v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseIn 2010, Appellant was found guilty by a jury of delivery of cocaine and sentenced to 900 months’ imprisonment. The trial court vacated Appellant’s sentence. Appellant was subsequently resentenced pursuant to a negotiated guilty plea, and a sentence of 420 months’ imprisonment was imposed. The 2012 sentencing order reflected that Appellant received 805 days of jail-time credit. In 2013, Appellant filed a motion asserting that, in the 2012 sentencing order, the trial court erroneously denied him the benefit of 785 days of earned credit for meritorious good time. The trial court denied the motion. The Supreme Court dismissed Appellant’s appeal, holding (1) Appellant’s request for relief was directed toward the calculation of his accrual of meritorious good time, which was a matter of parole eligibility to be determined by the Arkansas Department of Correction; and (2) to the extent that Appellant’s claim could be construed as one for modification of his sentence, the motion was untimely filed.
