misdemeanor battery ... plea vop judge sentences to felony house arrest

From the question, it is impossible to answer: if you received an order from an appellate court saying the appeal of the denial of your Rule 3.850 motion was untimely, the notice of appeal likely wasn't filed within 30 days of the trial court order denying your Rule 3.850 motion. If, instead,... Read more »
