State of Kansas v. Enrique C. Perales

Court: District Court, Pottawatomie County, Kansas

Description:
Westmoreland, Kansas stalking, a class A misdemeanor criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant.
In August 2022, after he had completed his 12-month concurrent sentences and over 6 years after his sentencing, Perales submitted a "Motion for Leave to Appeal Out of Time." He contended that his appointed trial counsel had not filed a notice of appeal regarding his 2016 plea and sentencing or informed him of his right to file a notice of appeal pro se. The district court rejected his motion, concluding that Perales learned about his right to appeal during the sentencing process when the district court informed him of his right to appeal and expungement at the sentencing hearing. Perales appealed this ruling.
* * *
Outcome: For these reasons, we summarily dismiss the appeal as moot.
