Superior Court 5/1/08 - COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. THOMAS PERRIN

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. THOMAS PERRIN
No. 3058 EDA 2008 2008 PA Super 91 Atlantic: n/a Filed: 5/1/2008
Appeal from the PCRA Order of September 22, 2006 In the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Criminal, No. CP#8611-1641
Before: STEVENS, KLEIN and KELLY, JJ.
Opinion by: KLEIN, J.
Thomas Perrin appeals pro se from the order entered by the Honorable Gregory E. Smith dismissing without a hearing his petition filed under the Post Conviction Relief Act (PCRA), 42 Pa.C.S.A. §§ 9541-9546. Because we agree with the PCRA court that Perrin’s facially untimely petition failed to establish a statutory exception to the one-year jurisdictional time limit for filing a petition under the PCRA, we affirm. A full discussion follows.
