Topic: Post-conviction relief - Out-of-time appeal - M.R.A.P. 4 - Successive petition

Summary of the Facts: Richard Stone pled guilty to the statutory rape of a twelve-year-old child. He was sentenced to twenty years. Stone filed a petition for post-conviction collateral relief which was denied. He filed a second petition for post-conviction collateral relief entitled "motion to withdraw guilty plea," which was also denied. He appeals.

Summary of Opinion Analysis: Stone pled guilty and was sentenced on August 27, 2001. He filed a motion to withdraw guilty plea on June 21, 2002. That motion was denied in September 2002. He filed another motion requesting certain post-conviction relief on September 30, 2002, which was denied in November 2002. Stone then filed a notice of appeal which was received by the circuit clerk's office on January 13, 2003. The clerk advised Stone that the trial court would take the notice under consideration as a motion for out-of-time appeal. Stone’s motion did not meet the requirements of M.R.A.P. 4(a), (g), or (h) for the granting of an out-of-time appeal. In addition, his request for post-conviction relief is barred as a successive petition.
