Ford v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Dec 27, 1982
644 S.W.2d 252 (Ark. 1982)

Opinion

No. CR 81-104

Opinion delivered December 27, 1982

Petition for Stay of Execution and Amended Petition for Postconviction Relief Pursuant to A.R.Cr.P. Rule 37; petition for stay of execution denied; amended petition for postconviction relief dismissed.

Pat Goss, for petitioner.

Steve Clark, Atty. Gen., by: Leslie M. Powell, Asst. Atty. Gen., for respondent.


On December 20, 1982, we denied the petition of Clay Anthony Ford for relief pursuant to A.R.Cr.P. Rule 37.2 and for stay of execution, which is set for January 6, 1983. Petitioner attempted to file an amendment to his petitions on December 22, 1982. His amendment was untimely because we had already ruled on the original petition. Furthermore, the proposed amendment does not assert any grounds which were not treated on direct appeal. The amendment, like the original petition, does not allege grounds upon which relief could be granted and is without merit.

Amended petition dismissed.

Petition for stay of execution denied.
