CR 00-1190

PRO SE MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF MOTION FOR BELATED APPEAL OF ORDER [CIRCUIT COURT OF COLUMBIA COUNTY, NO. CR 97-53, HON. CAROL CRAFTON ANTHONY, JUDGE]

MOTION DISMISSED

Patrick Brown was found guilty by a jury of burglary and theft of property and sentenced to an aggregate term of 300 months' imprisonment. The court of appeals affirmed. Brown v. State, 63 Ark. App. 38, 972 S.W.2d 956 (1998). Brown subsequently filed a petition for postconviction relief pursuant to Criminal Procedure Rule 37 in the trial court. The petition was denied No appeal was taken, and Brown sought leave here to proceed with a belated appeal of the order. We dismissed the motion because it was not timely filed. Brown v. State, CR 00-1190 (March 1, 2001). Brown subsequently filed the instant motion for reconsideration.

The motion is dismissed inasmuch as it was filed erroneously and should have been returned to petitioner Brown pursuant to In Re Motions for Reconsideration in Post-Conviction Matters, 319 Ark. Appx. 826 (1994), in which we said:

This court frequently acts on motions filed in the course

of appeals of orders denying post-conviction relief pursuant to

Arkansas Criminal Procedure Rule 37, Ark. Code Ann. §16-

90-111 (Supp. 1991), statutes which govern the issuance of

writs of habeas corpus and mandamus as well as other legal

remedies such error coram nobis proceedings and others. As

there is no provision in the prevailing rules of procedure

for a motion for reconsideration to be filed after this court

has denied a motion which stems from a post-conviction

matter, such motions will no longer be filed. (emphasis

added)

Motion for reconsideration dismissed.
