The motion court denied his request without an evidentiary hearing. On appeal, the Eastern District of Missouri vacated the motion court's judgment and remanded the case with directions to dismiss Hamilton's motion, finding that his pro se motion was untimely filed, thus constituting a complete waiver of his right to proceed under Rule 24.035.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=189438","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/alejo-a-hamilton-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-110209","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","text: conviction","text: sentence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
