1. “[S]uch a motion is an original proceeding before this Court and the provisions of Rule 17, M.R.App.P., apply. In order to obtain an out-of-time appeal, the pro se defendant or defendant’s counsel shall file a motion with this Court. ... Upon a showing that the failure to notice a criminal appeal in a timely manner was “excusable under the circumstances,” pursuant to Rule 21(b), M.R.App.P., this Court may conclude that an out-of-time appeal is the appropriate remedy. In such an event, we will order the matter remanded to the district court with an instruction to vacate and re-enter judgment to afford the defendant a second opportunity to act within the statutory time frames for filing notice of appeal.”
