The appellate court affirmed the motion court's judgment. It held that a timely filed and facially compliant statement in lieu of an amended motion does not necessitate an abandonment inquiry, and Perkins's subsequent pro se amended motion was not a valid \"reply\" under Rule 24.035(e). The court also found the motion court lacked authority to grant an extension for the amended motion as the deadline had passed.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=132896","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/joshua-a-perkins-v-state-of-missouri-d80745","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"}]}
