State v. Casiano

Opinion

PALMER, J.

This case comes before us on a motion for review filed by the defendant, Jason Casiano, who is indigent, challenging the trial court’s denial of his application for the appointment of counsel in connection with his appeal from the trial court’s denial of his motion to correct an illegal sentence.
