01/05/2005Order/ProceduralFiled Order. This is an appeal from an order of the district court denying appellant's post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus in a capital case. On November 29, 2004, appellant submitted an untimely transcript request form and docketing statement. Appellant's counsel was requested to file an appropriate motion for an extension of time.
