State ex rel. Petillo v. Marion County Criminal Court
Indiana Supreme Court · Decided September 28, 1954
233 Ind. 700; 121 N.E.2d 734; 1954 Ind. LEXIS 275

State ex rel. Petillo v. Marion County Criminal Court

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam

Relator files what he designates as a verified motion to be granted an appeal from the Marion County Criminal Court, Division One, from a judgment entered August 9, 1954, denying his petition for a writ of error eoram nobis filed in the trial court. Rule 2-40 provides an appeal may be prosecuted in such matters within ninety days after the day of the decision.

If relator has merit to his appeal, and he is a pauper as he alleges, it is the duty of the Public Defender to prosecute it, and the relator should bring the matter to his attention.

The motion is dismissed.

Note. — Reported in 121 N. E. 2d 734.
