Henneha appealed the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief, which the motion court dismissed as untimely filed. Henneha argued that circumstances beyond his control, including the COVID-19 pandemic and solitary confinement, justified the late filing. The appellate court affirmed, finding that the motion court did not clearly err in concluding Henneha failed to prove a recognized exception to the timeliness requirement, as he did not show he did all he reasonably could to ensure timely filing or that the delay was solely due to third-party interference.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=194273","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/james-w-henneha-movant-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-responden-d37556","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"}]}
