APPEAL from the Court of Appeals for Franklin County, No. 79AP-693.
__________________
{¶ 1} Appellant, Abdullah Ibraheem, a.k.a. Robert A. Chambers, was
convicted of aggravated murder, and the conviction was affirmed on appeal. State
v. Chambers (May 6, 1980), Franklin App. No. 79AP-693, unreported. Almost
fifteen years later, appellant filed an application to reopen his appeal for ineffective
assistance of appellate counsel, citing numerous instances of trial counsel’s
ineffectiveness and a few other issues. The court of appeals found no good cause
to allow the untimely application and denied the application. Appellant has
appealed the denial to this court.
