Text: ¶ 37 The facts gleaned from the record and a Court of Criminal Appeals' order are as follows. [28] On May 5, 2006, Respondent filed a petition for a writ of mandamus in the Dewey County District Court, case number CV-2006-28. The district court filed an order dismissing the case as to one defendants on October 4, 2006, and granted attorney fees against Respondent in that defendant's favor. On December 27, 2006, the district court filed an order dismissing the case as to the remaining defendants. On November 3, 2006, Respondent filed an application to assume original jurisdiction and for a writ of mandamus in the Court of Criminal Appeals, case number MA-2006-1174. On December 15, 2006, the Court of Criminal Appeals filed an order denying the petition for writ of mandamus, finding that Respondent had an adequate remedy at law by way of appeal. On January 9, 2007, Respondent re-filed the December 27, 2006 order and, on January 25, 2007, filed a notice of intent to appeal with the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals, appellate case number M-2007-71. On May 8, 2007, the Court of Criminal Appeals dismissed the appeal as filed out of time. The order dismissing the appeal noted that Respondent could not revive the time limitation for filing his appeal simply by having a copy of the District Court's order re-filed at a later point.
