Cox v. State

Summary

The court granted Cox's motion for belated appeal after finding that the record showed his notice of appeal had been posted before the filing deadline, even though it was not timely lodged. Because Cox pleaded guilty, the direct appeal was limited to evidentiary issues arising during sentencing. The court also held that counsel remained attorney of record absent a written order permitting withdrawal, granted in forma pauperis status, and directed counsel to complete the record by filing a petition for writ of certiorari.
