Ybarra v. State

Summary

The court granted the State's motion to dismiss Amber Ybarra's appeal from the denial of her petition challenging her sentence. It held that, despite being labeled a petition to correct an illegal sentence, the petition asserted claims governed by Rule 37.1 and was untimely under that rule's ninety-day limit for guilty-plea cases. Because the deadline was jurisdictional, the circuit court lacked jurisdiction to grant relief and the appellate court lacked jurisdiction over the appeal.
