State of Washington,

Thomas Kummerow
Daniel Clark

Maureen Cyr
|
SYNOPSIS: With a few exceptions, there is a one-year time limit from the final judgment in which a criminal defendant may file a post-conviction motion or personal restraint petition. The issue in these cases is about meeting that deadline—whether paperwork filed by prisoners who do not have attorneys should be considered “filed” when deposited in the prison mailing system, or only when received by the court.
