Buck v. State

Missouri Court of Appeals

Decided March 25, 2002No. 24314Published

1Opinion of the Court

KENNETH W. SHRUM, Presiding Judge.

Marion Buck (“Appellant”) appeals the denial of his writ of “error coram nobis” in which he sought to set aside his conviction of distributing a controlled substance. In his writ application, Appellant alleges that the court which accepted his guilty plea had no factual basis to do so. However, the writ of “error coram nobis” has been abolished in Missouri; consequently, the trial court had no authority to grant Appellant any relief based on that theory. It follows, therefore, that* this court has no jurisdiction over this appeal. The appeal is dismissed.
