COUNSEL FOR APPELLANT:
Shelwin Markise Jones
Pickett, Judge.
The Defendant, Shelwin Marikise Jones, was charged by bill of information
with unauthorized use of vehicle in excess of one thousand dollars, a violation of
La.R.S. 14:68. On March 3, 2003, the Defendant entered a guilty plea to the
charge. On that same date, the Defendant waived sentencing delays, and he was
sentenced to five year at hard labor.
On November 15, 2012, the Defendant filed a motion seeking an appeal,
which was granted by the trial court on November 16, 2012.
On December 27, 2012, this court issued an order for the Defendant to show
cause why his appeal should not be dismissed as untimely perfected, citing
La.Code Crim.P. art. 930.8 and State v. Theard, 04-1212 (La. 6/17/05), 904 So.2d
681. In response, the Defendant conceded that the appeal was untimely perfected
and should be dismissed as untimely.
Accordingly, the Defendant’s appeal is dismissed.
