Whitney v. State (Majority)
Annotate this CaseThe Supreme Court dismissed the petition filed by Petitioner requesting permission to proceed with an appeal of an order entered by the trial court denying his pro se petition for dismissal of fines, fees, and costs. More than one year after the judgment of conviction was entered in his case, Petitioner filed a petition asking that the fines, fees, and costs noted on the judgment be dismissed because he could not pay them. The trial court denied the petition. On appeal, the Supreme Court treated the petition as a motion for rule on clerk and dismissed the motion, holding that the trial court did not have jurisdiction to grant the relief Petitioner sought, and therefore, Petitioner could not prevail on appeal of the order denying that relief.
