Miller v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CasePetitioner entered a guilty plea to battery in the second degree and was sentenced to sixty months' imprisonment. Petitioner subsequently filed a timely pro se petition for postconviction relief, which the trial court denied. Petitioner failed to timely appeal but later sought leave to proceed with a belated appeal of the order, contending that the circuit court failed to send him a copy of the order denying his petition. The Supreme Court granted the motion, as nothing in the record suggested that Petitioner was properly notified that the order had been entered, and the State had not filed a response to Petitioner's motion to refute the allegations contained in it.
