Adkins v. State (Per Curiam)

Crim. P. 37.1. Appellant's motion for transcript and Rule 37.1 petition were filed as two separate pleadings. Appellant’s signature on the Rule 37.1 petition was not notarized, but his signature on the motion for transcript was notarized, and the motion contained a verification that the facts stated in the motion were true and accurate. The circuit court dismissed the Rule 37.1 petition for failure to comply with Rule 37.1(c). The Supreme Court reversed, holding that Appellant’s Rule 37.1 petition was compliant with Rule 37.1(c) under the facts of this case. Remanded.
