The State argued the appeal should be dismissed for lack of a final, appealable judgment because Briggs's amended motion was untimely, and the motion court failed to issue findings on his timely pro se claims. The appellate court agreed, finding the amended motion was untimely under the applicable version of Rule 29.15(g) and that the motion court's judgment was not final because it did not adjudicate the pro se claims. The appeal was dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"dismissed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=173353","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/garron-t-briggs-v-state-of-missouri-d82991","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":36,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","text: conviction"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
