     Appellant, Ishmael Jackson, alleges he was convicted of
two counts of felonious assault on a police officer with a gun
specification, trafficking in cocaine, and drug abuse. He
appealed, and the court of appeals affirmed the conviction by
judgment entry of August 5, 1992. Appellant's motion for leave
to appeal to this court was overruled. State v. Jackson

, 

. He applied to the
court of appeals to reopen the appeal from the judgment of
conviction, alleging ineffective assistance of appellate
counsel pursuant to App. R. 26(B). The court of appeals denied
the application on the basis that appellant failed to show good
cause for filing the application more than ninety days after
the court of appeals' judgment was journalized, as required by
App. R. 26(B)(2)(b). Appellant appeals the denial to this
court.
