HON. ROBERT H. WYATT, JR.,
JUDGE]
v.
LARRY NORRIS, DIRECTOR,
ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF
CORRECTION
Appellee
MOTION GRANTED; APPEAL
DISMISSED.
PER CURIAM
In 1990, appellant Charles Louis Jackson was convicted by a jury of capital murder, burglary
and theft of property and sentenced to an aggregate term of life imprisonment without parole. We
affirmed. Jackson v. State, CR 90-274 (Ark. Feb. 8, 1993) (per curiam).
In 2007, appellant, who was incarcerated in Jefferson County, filed a pro se petition for writ
of habeas corpus in the circuit court in that county. The circuit court dismissed the petition without
a hearing, and appellant has lodged a pro se appeal here from the order of dismissal.
Appellant’s brief filed in this court was returned to him for correction and he was advised
that his brief-in-chief was due here March 11, 2008. On March 12, 2008, he untimely tendered a
motion for extension of time to file the brief which was returned to him. The appellee now asks that
the appeal be dismissed for appellant’s failure to pursue the appeal. The motion is granted pursuant
to Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-5.
Motion granted; appeal dismissed.
