State v. Smith

Supreme Court of Nebraska
Jan 5, 1968
155 N.W.2d 368 (Neb. 1968)

Opinion

No. 36639.

Filed January 5, 1968.

Criminal Law: New Trial. The record in this case fails to show that defendant was unavoidably prevented from filing his motion for a new trial within the statutory time.

Appeal from the district court for Douglas County: DONALD BRODKEY, Judge. Affirmed.

S. J. Albracht, Robert C. Vondrasek, and Lathrop Albracht, for appellant.

Clarence A. H. Meyer, Attorney General, and Richard H. Williams, for appellee.

Heard before WHITE, C.J., CARTER, SPENCER, BOSLAUGH, SMITH, McCOWN, and NEWTON, JJ.


In this post conviction proceeding the district court overruled defendant's motion for a new trial because the motion had been filed out of time. Defendant contends on appeal that he was unavoidably prevented from filing the motion timely. No such statement appears in the motion itself, and the bill of exceptions discloses nothing relevant. The judgment is affirmed. See, 25-1143, R.R.S. 1943; Roggencamp v. Dobbs, 15 Neb. 620, 20 N.W. 100.

AFFIRMED.
