106 FORD V. STATE [278 Cite as 278 Ark. 106 (1982) Clay Anthony FORD v. STATE of Arkansas CR 81-104 644 S.W.2d 252 Supreme Court of Arkansas 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. Any. Gen., for respondent. PER CURIAM. 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.
