Cridge v. Hobbs (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAppellant entered a negotiated plea of guilty to manufacturing a controlled substance and was sentenced to 240 months’ imprisonment. Appellant later filed a pro se petition for declaratory judgment and writ of mandamus against the Director of the Arkansas Department of Correction seeking to compel the ADC to recalculate his parole-eligibility date. The circuit court dismissed the petition. Appellant lodged an appeal and subsequently filed a motion to file a belated brief. The Court dismissed the appeal and declared the motion moot, holding that Appellant failed to state a basis for declaratory judgment, and therefore, failed to provide a basis for a writ of mandamus to issue.
