Anthony SANDERS v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 97-961                                          ___ S.W.2d ___

                    Supreme Court of Arkansas
              Opinion delivered September 18, 1997


Appeal & error -- motion for belated appeal remanded. -- In response to 
     appellant's motion for belated appeal, the supreme court
     remanded the matter to the trial court to conduct a hearing to
     determine if appellant had requested his trial counsel to file
     an appeal, directing the trial court to make its findings and
     to remand them to the supreme court within thirty days.


     Motion for Belated Appeal; remanded.
     Jerry Larkowski, for appellant.
     No response.

     Per Curiam. 
     Appellant Anthony Sanders was convicted on December 5, 1996. 
No timely notice of appeal was filed.  In a motion for belated
appeal, Sanders asserts he had instructed his trial attorney, Mark
Jesse, to file an appeal, but Jesse failed to do so.  Sanders's new
attorney, Jerry Larkowski, now files a motion for belated appeal,
stating Sanders has been denied his right to effective assistance
of counsel.  
     We remand this matter to the trial court to conduct a hearing
to determine if Sanders had requested his counsel, Mark Jesse, to
file an appeal, and direct the trial court to make its findings and
remand them to this court within thirty days.
