State v. King
Annotate this CaseAfter a bench trial, the trial court convicted Defendant of unlawful possession of scheduled drugs and ordered Defendant to forfeit his firearm to the State. Defendant filed a notice of appeal but did not request production of a transcript of the trial or submit a transcript substitute. Further, Defendant’s appendix filed with his brief contained neither a docket record of the proceedings nor the orders by which the court continued the date for trial. The Supreme Judicial Court dismissed the appeal without reaching the merits of Defendant’s arguments because Defendant failed to comply with the applicable Maine Rules of Appellate Procedure.
