Supreme Court of Arkansas

Billings v. State

November 17, 20162016 Ark. 404

Summary

The court denied Billings's request to pursue a belated appeal because his timely notice of appeal did not excuse his failure to timely tender the appellate record. The court treated the request as a motion for rule on the clerk and held that Billings did not establish good cause for missing the ninety-day deadline. The court also rejected his contention that the circuit clerk was responsible for perfecting the appeal.
