State v. Smith
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the district court denying Appellant's motion for leave to appeal out of time, holding that the district court did not err in denying Appellant's motion under the exceptions set forth in State v. Ortiz, 640 P.2d 1255 (1982).
This was the third of Appellant's appeals from the district court's decision denying his motion for leave to appeal out of time. Twice before, the Supreme Court considered Appellant's case and reversed the district court's decision and remanded the matter. In this appeal, Appellant argued that he was entitled to file an untimely appeal under the first and third Ortiz exceptions. The Supreme Court affirmed the district court's ruling denying Appellant's motion, holding that the district court correctly denied Appellant's motion to appeal out of time.
