12/26/2002MotionFiled Motion. Notice of Error and Motion to File an Amended Opening Brief. 02-22086
01/03/2003Order/ProceduralFiled Order Granting Motion. On December 26, 2002, appellant filed a motion requesting leave to file an amended opening brief in order to correct an error contained in the opening brief filed on May 7, 2002. On that same date, appellant submitted the proposed amended opening brief. Our review of the amended opening brief reveals that it is nearly identical to the opening brief filed on May 7, 2002. Specifically, it appears that the only difference between the two briefs is that the amended opening brief deletes one sentence included in the original opening brief. Cause appearing, we grant the motion. The clerk of this court shall strike the opening brief previously filed on May 7, 2002, and file the amended opening brief received on December 26, 2002. 03-00177

12/23/2004Order/ProceduralFiled Order. In reviewing the record on appeal in Torres' post-conviction appeal (in no. 42541), it came to our attention that rehearing may be warranted in no. 38724. The State shall have 30 days from the date of this order to show cause why this court should not recall the remittitur and sua sponte grant rehearing in this matter. 04-23403

The clerk of this court shall file the response provisionally submitted by the State on January 31, 2005. fn1[Appellant Torres' proper person motion for a confession of error is denied.] 05-02478

03/25/2005Order/ProceduralFiled Order. Declining to Recall Remittitur or Grant Rehearing. On December 23, 2004, this court ordered the State to show cause why this court should not recall the remittitur and sua sponte grant rehearing in Docket No. 38724. After reviewing the State's answer, we conclude that recalling the remittitur and granting rehearing is not warranted in this matter. We note that Torres may raise a claim concerning the denial of his motion for a new trial based on newly discovered evidence in the district court in the first instance in a successive post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Torres has a right to appeal to this court from any adverse decision of the district court on such a petition. 05-05875
