Gilliland v. State
Annotate this CaseAppellant Michael Gilliland was convicted for rape and sexual assault. The Supreme Court affirmed. Appellant subsequently filed a pro se petition for postconviction relief, which the circuit court denied. At issue on appeal was whether Appellant filed his petition within sixty days of the date that the mandate issued in accordance with Ark. R. Crim. P. 37.2(c). The Supreme Court (1) remanded the case for findings of fact concerning the date of tender of the petition as the Court could not ascertain the actual date of tender of the petition in this case; and (2) declared the State's motion for extension of time to file its brief in conjunction with its motion to dismiss moot.
