Wilson v. State

Summary

The Court dismissed Wilson’s appeal as untimely because the notice of appeal was filed nearly nine years after the postconviction order and no court-related personnel caused the delay. The Court held that the cited federal right-to-counsel decisions did not authorize consideration of an untimely appeal and explained that any ineffective-assistance claim based on counsel’s failure to appeal had to be presented through a procedurally proper postconviction motion.
