Supreme Court of Arkansas

Nelson v. State

September 5, 20132013 Ark. 316

Summary

The court granted Nelson’s motion for a belated appeal from the denial of his postconviction petition. Because the record did not show that the circuit court notified Nelson of the denial as required, and the State offered no contrary proof, the court presumed that notice was not properly given and found good cause for the untimely appeal. The clerk was directed to lodge the record and set a briefing schedule.
