State v. Arabiegreen
sd · 2003 · cited in 4 South Dakota opinions naming this issue, 2005–2023
2 sentences

2023The Court in Arabie noted that the language in Korth suggested counsel could assert arguably meritorious issues in Section A. However, the Court explained that such a view is not supportable because in Korth, the Court had adopted Oregon’s procedure and under that procedure it is “clear that counsel should not argue any issues in Section A of the brief.” 2003 S.D. 57 , ¶ 10, 663 N.W.2d at 254 . -6- #29817 ¶ 11. “[I]f there are issues in the case that counsel believes are meritorious,” counsel is to “abandon the Korth procedure and brief and argue those issues as in any other criminal appeal.”

2008Id. [¶ 5.] In light of the omissions in counsel’s Korth brief, we stay our further consideration of this case and order counsel for Marks to file an amended Korth brief within twenty days of the filing of this decision that includes a statement of significant motions in the case and their disposition, a statement that counsel discussed the case with Marks’ trial-level counsel and with Marks, and Marks’ signature on Section B of the brief. 3 The record shall be returned to Lawrence County to assist counsel in carrying out this order.
