Townsend v. State

OPINION

MAY, Judge.

Waiter Townsend appeals his convictions of unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon 1 and intimidation, 2 and the finding that he is an habitual offender. 3 The trial court granted Townsend's belated notice of appeal. Townsend raises two issues in his appeal. However, we find the trial court erred in granting Townsend's petition for permission to file a belated notice for appeal as he failed to show he was without fault or was diligent in pursuing the belated appeal. Because we lack jurisdiction to review Townsend's appeal, we dismiss.
