State v. Sims

In 1998, Appellant was convicted of first degree murder and other crimes. These appeals were based upon Appellant’s third motion for postconviction relief. The district court denied the motion without a hearing. Appellant appealed from the denial of his postconviction motion in case No. S-14-931. Appellant also filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal, which the district court denied. Appellant filed an appeal from this denial in case No. S-14-1073. The Supreme Court (1) affirmed the judgment in case No. S-14-1073, holding that the district court did not err in denying Appellant’s application to proceed in forma pauperis; but (2) gave Appellant thirty days in which to pay the statutory docket fee for the appeal docketed as case No. S-14-931.
