Lynn v. State
Annotate this CaseAppellant Sarah Lynn entered a negotiated plea of guilty to possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. A judgment and disposition order showed that Lynn had entered a negotiated plea of guilty or nolo contendere on both charges and that she was sentenced pursuant to the First Offender Act, or Act 346. Lynn appealed from the judgment and disposition order. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, holding that as a plea of guilty or nolo contendere tendered pursuant to Act 346 is not a conviction, and where there is no conviction there is no right to appeal, Lynn had no right of appeal from her Act 346 position because she did not meet the threshold requirement of being convicted of a misdemeanor or a felony.
