Statement for Additional Grounds for Review

Statement for Additional Grounds for Review
Generally
A defendant/appellant in review of a criminal case may file a pro se statement of additional grounds for review to identify and discuss those matters which the defendant/appellant believes have not been adequately addressed by the brief filed by the defendant/appellant’s counsel.
Timeline
The statement of additional grounds for review should be filed within 30 days after service upon the defendant/appellant of the brief prepared by the defendant/appellant’s counsel and the mailing of a notice from the clerk of the appellate court advising the defendant/appellant of the substance of rule 10.10. If within 30 days after service of the brief prepared by defendant/appellant’s counsel, defendant/appellant requests a copy of the verbatim report of proceedings from defendant/appellant’s counsel, counsel should promptly serve a copy of the verbatim report of proceedings on the defendant/appellant and should file in the appellate court proof of such service. The pro se statement of additional grounds for review should then be filed within 30 days after service of the verbatim report of proceedings. The clerk will advise all parties if the defendant/ appellant files a statement of additional grounds for review.
