Sneed had prematurely filed a pro se motion, then withdrew it, and never refiled it within the mandatory 90-day deadline after the appellate mandate. The appellate court determined that Sneed's withdrawal constituted a voluntary dismissal, rendering his subsequent motion, filed by counsel 102 days after the mandate, untimely. Consequently, the court vacated the motion court's order and directed the dismissal of Sneed's case.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=215053","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/michael-eugene-sneed-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-d38356","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"}]}
