Hendrix v. State

Appellant Milton Hendrix was found guilty by a jury of second-degree sexual assault, a felony, and fourth-degree sexual assault, a misdemeanor. Appellant subsequently filed a pro se petition for postconviction relief, which the trial court denied. Before the Supreme Court were Appellant's pro se motions for an extension of time to file his brief-in-chief and a copy of the record. The Court dismissed the appeal and declared the motions moot, holding that because the petition filed in the trial court was not timely filed, the trial court and appellate court lacked jurisdiction to consider Appellant's petition for postconviction relief.
