Meadows v. State (Majority)
Annotate this CasePetitioner entered a negotiated plea of guilty to a charge of first-degree murder and was sentenced to 360 months' incarceration. Six years later, Petitioner filed a pro se petition for writ of error coram nobis, which the circuit court denied. Petitioner did not timely file a notice of appeal. Petitioner subsequently filed a pro se motion to belatedly lodge an appeal from the circuit court's order. The Supreme Court denied the petition, as Petitioner did not preserve his right to appeal the postconviction order or meet his burden of demonstrating that there was good cause for his failure to perfect his appeal in a timely manner.
