The appellate court, however, first addressed a timeliness issue with Brewer's amended motion. The court found that the motion court lacked authority to grant an extension to file the amended motion after the initial deadline had passed, rendering Brewer's amended motion untimely. Consequently, the appellate court reversed the judgment and remanded the case for the motion court to conduct an abandonment inquiry.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=191157","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/john-brewer-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-110321","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"}]}
