If you still wish to appeal, you may peitition the trial court for leave to file an out-of-time appeal. If the trial court grants your request, you will have 30 days from entry of that order to file a notice of appeal referencing your conviction. If the trial court denies your request, you will have 30 days from entry of that order to file a notice of appeal referencing the denial of your request for an out-of-time appeal.

The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to send a copy of this order to Appellant and Appellant’s attorney, and the latter is also DIRECTED to send a copy to Appellant.
