Timothy Wolf Missouri Cases

Timothy Wolf appealed the circuit court's judgment overruling his motion for post-conviction relief under Rule 24.035. Wolf argued the court erred by not appointing counsel before ruling on his motion. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, holding that the circuit court did not err because Wolf failed to file an affidavit asserting his indigency with his pro se motion, which is a prerequisite for the appointment of counsel under Rule 24.035(e).

Timothy Wolf appealed the denial of his Rule 29.07(d) motion to withdraw his guilty plea for criminal nonsupport, arguing he was misled into pleading guilty and that a missing transcript prevented meaningful appellate review. The appellate court dismissed the appeal. It held that Wolf's claim regarding his guilty plea was not preserved for review as it was not raised in his motion below, and even if considered, it was procedurally defaulted as it fell under Rule 24.035 and was time-barred.
