Parties | Louie BARAGAN, Petitioner, v. Frank A. EYMAN, Warden, et al., Arizona State Prison, Respondent. |
Court | Arizona Supreme Court |
Louie Baragan, in pro. per.
Robert W. Pickrell, Atty. Gen., Stirley Newell, Asst. Atty., Gen., for respondent.
Petitioner pleaded guilty to illegal possession of a narcotic drug and was given five years probation on March 9, 1961. On September 11, 1962, petitioner pleaded guilty to the subsequent charge of the illegal sale of a narcotic drug and was sentenced to serve seven to ten years in the state prison. On September 13, 1962, petitioner's probation was revoked and he was sentenced to serve from seven to ten years to run concurrently with the other prison sentence.
On November 5, 1962, petitioner filed with the superior court a notice of appeal 'from the judgment rendered on the 11-13 day of September', a motion for leave to prosecute the appeal in forma pauperis and an affidavit stating that petitioner was without means to pay for the 'transcript and evidence' necessary to prosecute his appeal.
Subsequently his motion for leave to file a notice of appeal in forma pauperis was denied by the superior court in the following order:
'It appearing to the Court that the defendant on November 5, 1962, filed herein his Motion for Leave to File a Notice of Appeal in Forma Pauperis from the Judgment heretofore entered by this Court herein, and it further appearing that the Judgment of the Court was entered on a plea of guilty made by the defendant and that the defendant was represented by counsel at the time of making said plea, and it further appearing that there are no grounds for appeal from said Judgment of the Court,
'IT IS ORDERED that said Motion of the defendant is denied.'
The notice of appeal was not transmitted to the supreme Court in accordance to Rule 361, subd. A, Rules of Criminal Procedure, 17 A.R.S. The constitution provides for an appeal in all cases, Arizona Constitution, Art. 2, Sec. 24, A.R.S. A notice of appeal must be filed with the clerk of the trial court, Rule 350, Rules of Criminal Procedure, within 60 days after the entry of the judgment or sentence appealed from, Rule 348, Rules of Criminal Procedure. Once a notice of appeal has been filed Rule 361, Rules of Criminal Procedure provides:
'A. Upon an appeal being taken to the supreme court, the clerk with whom notice of appeal is filed shall, within twenty days thereafter unless a longer time is granted by the trial court, transmit to the clerk of the supreme court under his certificate and seal of office the notice of appeal and the record on appeal designated in Rule 360 or as specified by the parties.
This rule commands the clerk to transmit the notice of appeal and record on appeal to the supreme court. It leaves no discretion in the trial court for a determination of any sort as to the merits, the grounds or the timeliness of the filing of the appeal. Neither does it leave any discretion in the trial court for a determination as to...
