1Opinion of the Court
PEARSON, TILLMAN, Judge.
We are presented with a petition for certiorari to review a judgment of the circuit court in the exercise of its appellate jurisdiction. The circuit court dismissed petitioner’s appeal from a conviction of a traffic violation in the Metropolitan Court. The petition alleges that the dismissal of the appeal was in violation of the essential requirements of law.
The circuit court, basing its action on § 6.02 of the Metro Charter,1 dismissed petitioner’s appeal because it was filed more than twenty days after the entry of the judgment in the Metropolitan Court.
