-vs- :
MARK E. CARNES, :
Defendant-Appellant. :
Criminal Appeal from the Trumbull County Court of Common Pleas, Case No. 2014
CR 00395.
Judgment: Appeal dismissed.
Dennis Watkins, Trumbull County Prosecutor, Administration Building, Fourth Floor,
160 High Street, N.W., Warren, OH 44481-1092 (For Plaintiff-Appellee).
Mark E. Carnes, pro se, PID: A662-583, Madison Correctional Institution, 1851 State
Route 56, London, OH 43140 (Defendant-Appellant).
TIMOTHY P. CANNON, J.
{¶1} On September 13, 2017, appellant, pro se, filed a notice of appeal from an
August 7, 2017 judgment entry denying his motion to withdraw his guilty plea issued by
the Trumbull County Court of Common Pleas. Appellant’s notice of appeal was due to
be filed no later than September 6, 2017, which was not a holiday or a weekend. Thus,
the appeal is untimely by seven days.
{¶2} App.R. 4(A)(1) states in relevant part:
{¶3} “… [a] party who wishes to appeal from an order that is final upon its
entry shall file the notice of appeal required by App.R. 3 within 30 days of that entry.”
{¶4} Appellant has a remedy to file an untimely appeal from a criminal
judgment under App.R. 5(A), which states in relevant part:
{¶5} “(1) After the expiration of the thirty day period provided by App.R. 4(A) for
the filing of a notice of appeal as of right, an appeal may be taken by a defendant with
leave of the court to which the appeal is taken in the following classes of cases:
{¶6} “(a) Criminal proceedings;
{¶7} “(b) Delinquency proceedings; and
{¶8} “(c) Serious youthful offender proceedings.
{¶9} “(2) A motion for leave to appeal shall be filed with the court of appeals
and shall set forth the reasons for the failure of the appellant to perfect an appeal as of
right. ….”
{¶10} In the present case, appellant has neither complied with the thirty-day rule
set forth in App.R. 4(A)(1) nor sought leave to appeal under App.R. 5(A). Thus, this
court is without jurisdiction to consider the appeal.
{¶11} Appeal dismissed, sua sponte, pursuant to App.R. 4(A).
