Syllabus

Application to reopen under App.R. 26(B) ineffective assistance of appellate counsel timeliness good cause reliance on appellate attorney mental deficiencies and 13-year delay. The court denied an App.R. 26(B) application to reopen as untimely. Failure of an attorney to inform the applicant about the outcome of the appeal does not state good cause. Unsupported allegations of learning disabilities, low IQ, and substance abuse do not state good cause. A 13-year lapse was too long.
