McClinton v. State (Majority, with Concurring)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court dismissed Appellant’s appeal from the denial of his petition filed under Ark. R. Crim. P. 37.1, which mooted Appellant’s motions in which he sought permission from the Supreme Court to include in the addendum of his brief a portion of the trial court’s docket listing.
On remand from the Supreme Court, the trial court considered Appellant’s claims in the petition for Rule 37 relief. The court then denied and dismissed the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the trial court correctly determined that Appellant was not entitled to relief on his allegations of trial error or ineffective assistance regarding those claims and that his direct challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence was not cognizable in this Rule 37 proceeding.
