      Crone, Judge.

[1]   Crosby Rayne Waller was serving probation after pleading guilty to level 6

      felony battery against a public safety officer. The State alleged, and the trial

      Court of Appeals of Indiana | Memorandum Decision 18A-CR-1398 | December 11, 2018             Page 1 of 2
      court found, that Waller violated his probation by committing new offenses and

      taking illegal drugs. The court revoked his probation and executed the

      remainder of his previously suspended sentence. Waller failed to perfect an

      appeal within thirty days and sought leave to file a belated appeal pursuant to

      Indiana Post-Conviction Rule 2, which the trial court granted. He asserts that

      the trial court abused its discretion in executing the remainder of his previously

      suspended sentence. The State cross-appeals, to which Waller does not

      respond, claiming that the trial court erred in granting Waller leave to file a

      belated appeal and that we must therefore dismiss. Finding the State’s cross-

      appeal issue dispositive, we dismiss. See Dawson v. State, 943 N.E.2d 1281, 1281

      (Ind. 2011) (adopting this Court’s analysis that Post-Conviction Rule 2 does not

      allow belated appeals from orders revoking probation).

[2]   Dismissed.

      Vaidik, C.J., and Mathias, J., concur.
