Manuel v. State (Majority, with Dissenting)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court dismissed this appeal from the denial of Appellant's pro se motion to enforce his plea agreement, holding that Appellant's motion to enforce the plea agreement represented an untimely postconviction motion, and therefore, Appellant's notice of appeal was untimely.
Appellant pled guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and was sentenced to forty-five years' imprisonment. In his motion to enforce the plea agreement, Appellant argued that the sentence he received was not the sentence included in the plea agreement. The circuit court denied the motion. The Supreme Court dismissed Appellant's appeal, holding that both Appellant's motion to enforce the plea agreement and his notice of appeal were untimely, and therefore, neither the circuit court nor the Supreme Court had authority to grant the relief sought.
