Petition for Post-Conviction Relief—Untimeliness of Petition—Lack of Jurisdiction—Murder of the Second Degree—

Sentencing Order.

The appellant’s petition for post-conviction relief was filed more than one year after his sentence became final. Because the appellant failed to allege that an exception to the time for filing the petition was present, the Court lacked jurisdiction to grant any of the appellant’s requested relief.

steinberG, J., december 12, 2016. The appellant has filed this appeal from the denial of his second Post Conviction relief Act (hereinafter PCrA) petition, which he disguised as a request for habeas corpus relief. The request for relief from his murder conviction is untimely, and this Court lacks jurisdiction to address his claims. The appellant’s judgment of sentence became final ap-proximately October 27, 2006, ninety (90) days following the de-nial of his petition for allowance of appeal. His current petition was not filed until June 21, 2016. Additionally, the underlying claims are frivolous. The appellant was sentenced to life imprisonment, and even though sentencing sheets signed by the Honorable Carol K. mCGinley are in the file, the appellant contends the trial court in some way “failed to issue an official, written, signed and sealed Sentencing Order.”

On July 7, 2004, a jury found the appellant guilty of Murder of the Second degree, robbery and Criminal Conspiracy.1 The

appellant and two accomplices participated in the killing of Jasper Watts, who was shot in the back of his head inside his apartment.

On August 19, 2004, the appellant was sentenced to life im-prisonment for the charge of Murder of the Second degree. He also received concurrent sentences of not less than six (6) years nor more than twenty (20) years for the charge of robbery, and not less than five (5) years nor more than twenty (20) years for the charge of Conspiracy to Commit robbery.

The appellant’s judgment of sentence was affirmed by the Superior Court on March 6, 2006, and thereafter the Supreme Court denied his petition for allowance of appeal.2 The appellant filed a “Petition for Post-Conviction Collateral relief ” on June 22, 2007. Counsel was appointed to represent the appellant and a hearing was held on March 17, 2008. The PCrA petition was denied on June 30, 2008. The Superior Court affirmed that de-nial on May 18, 2009.3

On June 21, 2016, the appellant filed “Petitioner’s Writ for Habeas Corpus,” which is the subject of this appeal, and an ac-companying memorandum of law. This Court treated the appel-lant’s request for habeas corpus relief as a request for PCrA relief. On August 30, 2016, pursuant to Pa. r.Crim.P. 907(1), this Court issued a notice of our intention to dismiss without a hearing, and permitted the appellant twenty (20) days to respond. The appellant failed to do so, and on September 23, 2016, the appellant’s petition was dismissed.

On October 18, 2016, the appellant filed a Notice of Appeal without the required proof of service. Thereafter, the required Certificate of Service was filed on October 31, 2016. This Court issued an Order pursuant to Pa. r.A.P. 1925(b) on November 1, 2016, and the appellant filed “Appellant’s Concise Statement of Matters for Appeal” (hereinafter Statement) on November 14, 2016. The appellant in that Statement reiterates his claim that the

trial court “failed to issue an official, written, signed and sealed Sentencing Order.”4 The appellant also takes issue with the conclu-sion that the PCrA statute subsumes the writ of habeas corpus.5

dISCuSSION

The untimeliness of the appellant’s habeas corpus petition, which would be considered his second request under the PCrA, is self-evident. The Supreme Court denied his Petition for Allow-ance of Appeal on July 27, 2006.6 A timely petition would have had to be filed on or before October 27, 2007.

“A petition for relief under the PCrA, including a second or subsequent petition, must be filed within one year of the date the judgment becomes final unless the petition alleges, and the peti-tioner proves, that an exception to the time for filing the petition, set forth at 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 9545(b)(1)(i), (ii), and (iii), is met.” Commonwealth v. Harris, 972 A.2d 1196, 1199-1200 (Pa. Super. 2009). If the petition is untimely, the court lacks jurisdiction to grant any of the requested relief. Commonwealth v. Burton, 936 A.2d 521, 525 (Pa. Super. 2007); Commonwealth v. Taylor, 933 A.2d 1035, 1038 (Pa. Super. 2007). The appellant does not allege any exceptions to the timeliness requirements because he contends the PCrA does not apply to the issues raised in his petition.

The appellant has attempted to avoid the timeliness require-ments of the PCrA by styling it as a habeas corpus petition. This attempt is unavailing. The PCrA defines its scope as follows:

This subchapter provides for an action by which persons convicted of crimes they did not commit and persons serving illegal sentences may obtain collateral relief. The action es-tablished in this subchapter shall be the sole means of obtain-ing collateral relief and encompasses all other common law [sic] and statutory remedies for the same purpose that exist when this subchapter takes effect, including habeas corpus

4 Statement at p. 2.5 See 42 Pa. C.S. §9542.6 See Commonwealth v. Acevedo-Ortiz, 588 Pa. 762, 903 A.2d 1232 (2006).

and coram nobis. This subchapter is not intended to limit the availability of remedies in the trial court or on direct appeal from the judgment of sentence, to provide a means for raising issues waived in prior proceedings or to provide relief from collateral consequences of a criminal conviction. Except as specifically provided otherwise, all provisions of this subchap-ter shall apply to capital and noncapital cases.

42 Pa. C.S. §9542 (emphasis added).

The PCrA, as explained in this section, is the “sole means of obtaining collateral relief and encompasses all other common law [sic] and statutory remedies for the same purpose that exist when this subchapter takes effect, including habeas corpus and coram nobis.” Id. (emphasis added). Although the appellant has called his petition a “Petitioner’s Writ for Habeas Corpus,” he is still subject to the PCrA. In Commonwealth v. Taylor, 65 A.3d 462, 465-66 (Pa. Super. 2013), it was explained that “the PCrA is intended to be the sole means of achieving post-conviction relief. ... unless the PCrA could not provide for a potential remedy, the PCrA statute subsumes the writ of habeas corpus. ... Issues that are cognizable under the PCrA must be raised in a timely PCrA petition and cannot be raised in a habeas corpus petition.” Id. (citations omit-ted) (emphasis in original). Furthermore, citing Commonwealth v. Fowler, 930 A.2d 586 (Pa. Super. 2007), it was reiterated that all motions filed after a judgment of sentence is final are to be construed as PCrA petitions. Id. at 591. See also, Commonwealth v. Peterkin, 554 Pa. 547, 552, 722 A.2d 638, 640 (1998) (The PCrA subsumes all forms of collateral relief ... to the extent that a rem-edy is available under the act.) (emphasis added). Moreover, the legislative intent of the PCrA was to “channel post-conviction claims into the PCrA’s framework.” Commonwealth v. Hackett, 598 Pa. 350, 363, 956 A.2d 978, 986 (2008). The appellant, in his petition for collateral relief, claims that the trial court “failed to issue an official, written, signed and sealed Sentencing Order.” Even a frivolous claim is subject to the PCrA and the timeliness requirements of the Act. Commonwealth v. Pagan, 864 A.2d 1231, 1233 (Pa. Super. 2004) (Any collateral consequences flowing from

a conviction, including recidivist enhancements, “will not provide the petitioner with an avenue for review outside of the PCrA.”).

Based on the foregoing, this Court lacks jurisdiction to act on the appellant’s untimely petition, and its dismissal should be af-firmed.

Dear Bar Association Member,

The Bar Association of Lehigh County has started the Annual Ask for the Lehigh County Lawyer’s Charitable Fund Grant. This year’s theme is “School Programs in Need” and we are asking all organizations applying to keep that in mind as they complete their request.

We are proud to remind all lawyers that the Bar Association of Lehigh County has conducted an Assistance Program to benefit area 501c3 organizations to provide much needed assistance to our surrounding communities for many years. This program has raised over $200,000 throughout that time and distributed these funds to many deserving area organizations.

This year to assist these organizations, we are asking each lawyer to give generously to help support those in our local community. Remember, these contributions stay in the Greater Lehigh Valley area.

The Program is administered through the Lehigh Valley Community Foundation and all gifts are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. The Foundation will acknowledge all gifts for tax purposes.

We will recognize all those nonprofit organizations receiving funds as part of our Law Day celebration in May.

Past years’ contributions went to the Crime Victims Council of the Lehigh Valley, Dream Come True, The Lehigh Valley Zoo, Community Bike Works, The Victory House, Angel 34, Miracle League of the Lehigh Valley and many more.

PBI Group Cast Seminar “Tell Me More: Stories to Attract and Engage”

Thursday, February 9, 2017 One of the many challenges attorneys face today is communicating their firm’s unique offerings, culture, and other intangibles to a variety of audiences. Stories are an excellent (and often overlooked) way to humanize facts and invite people to experience what makes you different. This lively, upbeat program explores the benefits of using stories to frame issues, engage audiences and inspire action. You will discover where to find good stories in your everyday life, how to craft them, and where to tell them. When done correctly, a good story cuts through the noise and increases the “re-tell” value of your message.

PBI Group Cast Seminar “Black History Month Civil Rights Update”

Friday, February 10, 2017 Examine what is happening at the intersection of human rights and corporate decision-making. This intersection is evolving rapidly and it is worth your attention. Ray Brown and Wanda Akin stand at the forefront of this nexus of doing what is right for humanity and doing what is prudent for your clients. Corporate decision-makers who ignore, or even seek to mask human rights transgressions put their employees at risk of criminal penalties, companies at risk of enormous civil fines, and shareholders at risk of unanticipated and unforeseeable losses and reputational harm.

Discover the growing International hotbed of litigation – The United Nations “Protect, Respect and Remedy” Framework devotes one of its three sections to the Corporate Responsibility to Respect Human Rights. The U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum laid to rest a small corner of the issue of corporate liability, but it left open the discussion of supply chain issues, mergers and acquisitions, licensing and franchising, and other perils for multi-nationals under the Alien Tort Claims Act. Industry organizations are currently challenging the implementation of SEC regulations handed down to comply with the Conflict Minerals provisions of Dodd-Frank.
