                                                                    AN OUT-OF-TIME

   STATE OF MONTANA,                                          From DC-19-314, 2nd Jud. Court.

                        Appellee.      -Plaintiff.

         [To ask the Court to allow you to file an out-of-time appeal, give the reasons why the appeal was not
timely filed. State in the petition or supporting affidavit the issues you wish to raise on appeal and explain in
detail the reasons that you did not file a timely appeal. Giue only true and accurate explanations that support
your petition. Include a copy of the final order or judgmentfrom which you wish to appeal. M. R. App.P. 4(6)]

        I petition the Court to allow me to file an out-of-time appeal for the
following reason:        [Check one]

        CI I improperly filed a timely Notice of Appeal only with the District Court,

as more fully explained below.

      El I discussed filing a timely appeal with my attorney, but he or she failed to
file it for me, as more fully explained below.

      El I failed to file the Notice of Appeal for the following reason:
I requested that the appointed attorney file a Notice of Appeal, before and after

I was convicted/ sentenced. The appointed attorney's refused to go to trial, and

falsely stated what was going to happen to me. I told them repeated4;         that the

three men jumped me as I was walking down the sidewalk. The man who instigated

the assault on me admitted that he was on top of me during the assault and that
I was being kicked by one of the others. The attorney I asked for the appeal,

staed it violated his ethics to allow me to plead innocence, even though the

evidence used against me was meritless. I thought he filed a appeal, but he did not,

I beg the court to allow my appeal. I was denied c unsel
a native american, and these three men who attacked me are white.

      IZ1 Attached as Exhibit "A," a copy of the judgment or order from which I
wish to appeaL
      As legal authority for filing an out-of-time appeal, I cite the following which
supports this petition:
