1Opinion of the Court

SCALES, Justice.

This appeal concerns the post-judgment timetable for filing a motion to extend time to file a statement of facts in the appellate court. Appellant, Heidi Lynn Howell, contends that this Court’s order denying her motion to extend time to file the statement of facts deprives her of an effective appeal in this Court and denies her equal protection and due process under the fourteenth amendment of the United States Constitution.
