ARKANSAS SUPREME COURT  No.  CR 07­974  Opinion Delivered  February 21, 2008  PRO SE MOTION FOR  RECONSIDERATION OF DENIAL OF  MOTION FOR BELATED APPEAL  [CIRCUIT COURT OF SALINE  COUNTY, CR 96­203, HON. GARY M.  ARNOLD, JUDGE]  LARRY JAMES OSBORN  Petitioner  v.  STATE OF ARKANSAS  Respondent  MOTION DENIED.  PER CURIAM  Now before us is petitioner’s pro se motion for reconsideration of the denial of the motion  for belated appeal that this court handed down on November 29, 2007.  Osborn v. State, CR 07­974  (Ark. Nov. 29, 2007) (per curiam).  Petitioner reiterates the same grounds advanced in the motion  for belated appeal and reasserts that the untimely appeal was due to an inadvertent action on his part  that resulted in prejudice to him.  Petitioner has failed to meet his burden of demonstrating that there  was some error of fact or law in the decision that would merit reconsideration of the denial of the  motion for belated appeal.  In sum, it is the duty of a litigant to perfect a timely appeal, and petitioner  failed to do so by filing the notice of appeal with the trial court instead of with the circuit court clerk,  as required by Ark. R. App. P.–Civ. 3(b).  Motion denied.
