Supreme Court dismissed appeal as late; new lawyer's request for judgment copy did not restart appeal deadline.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal because it was filed after the statutory deadline. Although the court had restored the time limit for the original appeal, the appellant's new counsel's request for a copy of the judgment with reasoning was merely informational and did not constitute a new appeal. The court held that since the original appeal had already been validly filed within the restored period, the appellant could not file a second appeal based on the new counsel's actions.
