Willie R. Porchia, Sr., Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent

Summary

The court denied Porchia's motion for a belated appeal because he failed to file a notice of appeal within thirty days after dismissal of his postconviction petition and did not establish good cause for the delay. His later petition for review neither substituted for a timely notice of appeal nor qualified for the limited exception permitting correction of omitted issues. The court also rejected his arguments concerning appointed counsel and the prison mailbox rule.
