Supreme Court of Arkansas

Craigg v. State

May 1, 20142014 Ark. 198

Summary

The court denied the petitioner's motion for a belated appeal from an order denying his postconviction motions. It held that the petitioner's assertion that prison staff did not promptly make copies of his amended notice of appeal did not establish good cause for failing to comply with the applicable appellate procedures. The court emphasized that pro se and incarcerated litigants remain responsible for following procedural rules.
