Supreme Court of Arkansas

Bean v. State

October 23, 20142014 Ark. 440

Summary

The court denied the petitioner's motion for a belated appeal because he failed to show good cause for not timely filing a notice of appeal from the denial of his postconviction petition. The court held that proceeding pro se does not establish good cause, and the petitioner's asserted lack of a mandate did not explain his failure to file a timely notice of appeal.
