Nutt v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CasePetitioner filed an unverified pro se petition for postconviction relief pursuant to Ark. R. Crim. P. 37.1 challenging the judgment of conviction entered against him in his criminal case. The trial court dismissed the petition. Petitioner subsequently filed a notice of appeal, which was not timely. Petitioner here sought leave to proceed with a belated appeal of the order. The Supreme Court dismissed the motion for belated appeal, holding that Petitioner did not file a properly verified petition, and even if he had, the motion for belated appeal would be subject to denial because Petitioner did not meet his burden of stating good cause for the failure to timely file a notice of appeal.
