Coleman v. State (Per Curiam, with Concurring)
Annotate this CaseAppellant pleaded guilty to sexual assault in the second degree and to two counts of rape. Appellant subsequently filed a motion to withdraw the guilty plea in the cases pursuant to Ark. R. Crim. P. 26.1. The trial court denied the motion on the ground that it was not a timely petition under the rule. Appellant appealed and filed a motion to file a belated brief. The Supreme Court dismissed Appellant's appeal and declared Appellant's motion moot, holding that because Appellant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea was untimely filed, the trial court and appellate court lacked jurisdiction to consider his motion and appeal.
