Bobby L. Franklin v. Brian Eller, Warden

The pro se petitioner, Bobby L. Franklin, appeals from the denial of his petition for writ of habeas corpus by the Criminal Court for Johnson County, arguing the habeas court erred in summarily dismissing his petition. The petitioner asserts he is entitled to habeas corpus relief because a “new judgment” was entered, lengthening his sentence. Following our review, we conclude that the petitioner’s notice of appeal was untimely and that the interest of justice does not mandate waiver of this requirement. Thus, the instant appeal should be dismissed.
