Moody v. State

Summary

The court dismissed Moody's appeal from the denial of his postconviction petition. Although it assumed for purposes of analysis that his notice of appeal had been timely tendered, the court held that the Rule 37.1 petition was filed after the jurisdictional deadline, so the circuit court lacked authority to grant postconviction relief. The court also determined that the record did not establish jurisdiction in the circuit court.
