Judy L. JONES a/k/a Judy Colvin v. STATE of Arkansas
    748 S.W.2d 117
    Supreme Court of Arkansas
    Opinion delivered March 7, 1988
    
      
      Donald R. Robert, for appellant.
    No objection.
   Per Curiam.

Defendant, Judy L. Jones, has filed a motion for a belated appeal. Attached to the motion is an affidavit from her attorney which states that he notified defendant of her right to appeal and notified her of the 30 day period for giving a notice of appeal. The affidavit further provides, “[D]ue to no response from the defendant, I did not perfect the appeal. . . .” There is no evidence to indicate that defendant expressed a desire to appeal within the 30 day period. A defendant may waive her right to appeal by failure to inform counsel of her desire to appeal. Henderson v. State, 278 Ark. 107, 643 S.W.2d 541 (1982). Therefore, we deny the motion for a belated appeal.
