Supreme Court of Arkansas

Betts v. State

February 13, 20142014 Ark. 72

Summary

The court denied Betts's motion for a belated appeal from the denial of his habeas corpus petition because he did not establish good cause for filing his notice of appeal one day late. It held that the thirty-day appeal period included the intervening Labor Day holiday because the period was longer than fourteen days. The motion for appointment of counsel was therefore moot.
