Ronald Anthony Vashone, Petitioner-appellant, v. Larry Embry, Acting Warden; Gale A. Norton, Attorneygeneral of the State of Colorado, Respondents-appellees, 21 F.3d 1123 (10th Cir. 1994)

 Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit - 21 F.3d 1123 (10th Cir. 1994) April 5, 1994

Before SEYMOUR, Chief Judge, McKAY and BALDOCK, Circuit Judges.

ORDER AND JUDGMENT1 

McKAY

The respondents in this case chose not to file a brief.2  The appellant, Mr. Vashone, has agreed that this case may be submitted for decision on the briefs. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(f); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.2. The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

Mr. Vashone filed an out of time motion to reconsider his sentence pursuant to Colo. R.Crim. Pro. 35(c). Rule 35(c) requires such motions to be filed within 120 days of sentencing. Mr. Vashone was convicted in 1975, but did not file his motion for reconsideration until 1991. He argued that this lapse was excused by the fact that his appointed counsel never took any action on his case. The district court adopted the magistrate judge's report and recommendation and dismissed Mr. Vashone's habeas petition.

After reviewing Petitioner's brief and the record on appeal, we find no error. Accordingly, we AFFIRM for substantially the reasons set forth in the district court's Order of June 30, 1993.

AFFIRMED.
