Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • stating that an order granting reconsideration will be effective only if it is made and entered on the docket
  • stating that because “[the appellant’s] claim on appeal challenges the legality of his sentence, its review is not abrogated by the entry of his guilty plea.”
  • stating, the trial court must expressly grant reconsideration within the allowable time period; the scheduling of a hearing on the motion for reconsideration is insufficient to toll the appeal period
  • in order to extend time for taking appeal, trial court must vacate order and grant reconsideration; the mere scheduling of a hearing on the matter is insufficient
