“The convictions involved in Dunn's petition for writ of error coram nobis have not been affirmed on appeal by the Supreme Court. If follows that section 99-35-145(2) does not apply. The Circuit Court of Neshoba County had exclusive jurisdiction to entertain the petition for a writ, and it was error to dismiss the petition without an evidentiary hearing. 309 So.2d at 518 .”
