Hovis v. State

OPINION

RILEY, Judge.

STATEMENT OF THE CASE

Appellant-Defendant, Christopher Hovis (Hovis), appeals the trial court’s denial of his belated motion to correct error pursuant to Indiana Post-Conviction Rule 2(2).

We dismiss.

ISSUES

Hovis raises one issue on appeal, which we restate as follows: Whether the trial court abused its discretion when it entered judgment of conviction on a count of assisting a criminal, a Class C felony.

The State raises one issue on cross-appeal, which we restate as follows: Whether Hovis’ instant direct appeal constitutes a second direct appeal which must be dismissed.
