Supreme Court of Arkansas

Wade v. State

November 20, 20142014 Ark. 492

Summary

The court denied Wade's motion to lodge the record and treated it as a motion for belated appeal because his notice of appeal from the dismissal of his postconviction petition was untimely. The motion for reconsideration did not extend the appeal period because it challenged a resolved verification issue rather than requesting a ruling on an omitted issue. The court also denied his request for a record at public expense because he had no pending appeal and indigency alone did not establish a compelling need for copies.
