Gonder v. State

The Supreme Court dismissed Appellant's appeal from the judgment of the trial court dismissing Appellant's pro se petition and two amendments in which he sought a writ of audita querela, thus rendering moot Appellant's pro se motion in which he sought to file his reply brief belatedly, holding that Appellant was not entitled to relief.Appellant was convicted of furnishing prohibited articles. Appellant later filed his petition and amendments seeking a writ of audita querela. The trial court dismissed Appellant's petition and amendments on the ground that the writ of audita querela is not recognized and, therefore, the court was without jurisdiction to modify the judgment. The Supreme Court dismissed Appellant's appeal, holding that he could not prevail on appeal because, although the trial court had jurisdiction to provide relief through a writ of error coram nobis, Appellant stated no basis for issuance of the writ.
