Smith v. Ark. Dep’t of Corr. (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAppellant pleaded guilty to kidnapping and third-degree domestic battery of a minor. The judgment-and-commitment order did not require that Appellant register as a sex offender, although the statutory scheme required Appellant to register based on his conviction. The trial court later entered a nunc pro tunc order requiring Appellant to register as a sex offender. Subsequently, the Arkansas Department of Correction Sex Offender Screening & Risk Assessment Program assigned Appellant a community notification risk assessment of Level 2. The Level 2 assessment was upheld on administrative review. Thereafter, Appellant filed a petition for judicial review. The circuit court dismissed the petition for lack of jurisdiction based on an untimely petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant failed to establish that the petition had been timely filed, and accordingly, the circuit court did not err in dismissing the petition.
