Delgado v. State

Lydia Delgadio was convicted and sentenced for possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver. The circuit court denied Delgado's petition for postconviction relief. Delgado filed a notice of appeal, nine days late. Delgado then filed a motion to file notice of appeal and designation of record out-of-time, which the Supreme Court treated as a motion for belated appeal. In the motion, Delgado stated that she mailed the notice of appeal before the deadline, and after the deadline the notice was returned for insufficient postage. The Court denied the motion, holding that the motion failed to establish good cause for not filing a timely notice of appeal.
