Commonwealth v. Butts

Commonwealth v. Butts
Massachusetts Appeals Court · Decided March 10, 1986
21 Mass. App. Ct. 972; 489 N.E.2d 1017; 1986 Mass. App. LEXIS 1411

Commonwealth v. Butts

Opinion of the Court

The record fails to disclose any “excusable neglect” (Mass.R.A.P. 4[c], 378 Mass. 929 [1979]) for either defendant’s not filing a timely notice of appeal (see Fergione v. Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical Sch. Dist., 396 Mass. 1015, 1016 [1986]), but we see no point in remanding for exploration of that question because we are not persuaded that either defendant was harmed by any error that may have been committed.

Appeals dismissed.
