He argued that the motion court's docket entries constituted an appointment of counsel, making his amended motion untimely, and that the motion court should have conducted an abandonment inquiry. The appellate court dismissed the appeal, holding that the docket entries did not constitute an appointment of counsel, the amended motion filed by retained counsel was untimely, and the motion court's failure to adjudicate Garretson's timely pro se motion meant there was no final judgment.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"dismissed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=208997","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/shayne-garretson-v-state-of-missouri-d85776","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure"],"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"}]}
