Case Name: Larson v. State

Citation: 2007 WY 14

Docket Number: 06-34

Order Affirming Judgment and Sentence of the District Court

The matter came before the Court upon a letter from Appellant dated December 6, 2006. Appellant’s court-appointed counsel had been allowed by the Court to withdraw in September, 2006. Appellant asked the Court to accept the letter as an “adequate” substitute to a brief. The Court noted Appellant had not filed anything else within the time allotted for briefing. The Court reviewed the letter and found nothing to persuade them the appeal was not wholly frivolous because the matters alluded to in the letter were not found in the appellate record. The Court found the district court’s “Judgment and Sentence of the Court” in the matter should be affirmed.

C.J. Voigt delivered the order.
