Purifoy v. State

Summary

The court denied Purifoy’s motion for leave to pursue a belated appeal because he failed to show good cause for not timely perfecting the appeal. The court held that the appellant, including a pro se appellant, bears responsibility for complying with appellate deadlines. It also explained that the requested parole-eligibility relief was beyond the circuit court’s jurisdiction and that any collateral challenge to the plea or sentence was untimely. No separate opinions were filed.
