Andrade-Martinez v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAppellant was found guilty of multiple felony offenses. The court of appeals affirmed. Sixty-two days after the mandate on affirmance of the judgment had been issued, Appellant filed a pro se request for postconviction relief challenging the judgment. The trial court dismissed the petition on the ground that it was untimely. Appellant lodged an appeal from the order and filed a motion for extension of time to file his brief-in-chief. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal and declared the motion moot on the basis that the petition before the trial court was not timely filed, and therefore, the trial court lacked jurisdiction to grant the relief sought.
