The Defendant, Shelwin Markise Jones, was charged by bill of information
with carjacking, a violation of La.R.S. 14:64.2, and armed robbery, a violation of
La.R.S. 14:64. On March 3, 2003, the State amended the charge of carjacking to
accessory after the fact and entered a nolle prosequi for the charge of armed
robbery. In exchange, the Defendant entered a guilty plea to accessory after the
fact. On that same date, the Defendant waived sentencing delays, and he was
sentenced to five years at hard labor.
On November 15, 2012, the Defendant filed a motion seeking an appeal,
which was granted by the trial court on November 16, 2012.
On December 28, 2012, this court issued an order for the Defendant to show
cause why his appeal should not be dismissed as untimely perfected, citing
La.Code Crim. P. art. 930.8 and State v. Theard, 04-1212 (La. 6/17/05), 904 So.2d
681. In response, the Defendant conceded that the appeal was untimely perfected
and should be dismissed as untimely.
Accordingly, the Defendant’s appeal is dismissed.
