APPEAL DISMISSED; MOTION MOOT
PER CURIAM
In 2004, a jury found Raymond King, who is also known as Raymond White, guilty of theft
of property and he was sentenced to thirty years’ imprisonment as a habitual offender. After trial,
appellant’s counsel filed a petition in the trial court for postconviction relief pursuant to Ark. R.

After the mandate was returned to the trial court, appellant filed a second verified pro se
petition for postconviction relief pursuant to Ark. R. Crim. P. 37.1 based on ineffective assistance
of counsel. The trial court denied the petition without a hearing, and appellant, proceeding pro se,
has lodged an appeal here from the order.
