Ward v. State

The sole issue on appeal is whether the circuit court exceeded its authority when it resentenced Ward. I would hold the court did not exceed its authority; therefore, I dissent. The mandate, in its entirety, reads as follows:

This post conviction criminal appeal was submitted to the Arkansas Supreme Court on the record of the Pulaski County Circuit Court and briefs of the respective parties. After due' consideration, it is the decision of the court that the judgment of the circuit court is affirmed in part and remanded for resen-tencing in part for the reasons set out in the attached opinion.
