Massachusetts Appeals Court February 6, 2006, No. 05-P-101 (Commonwealth v. Kegler)

In this appeal from convictions of unarmed robbery, assault and battery and illegal possession of heroin, the defendant, and more particularly defense counsel,1 asserts that the single justice of this court abused his discretion or committed other error of law in denying a motion to reinstate the defendant’s direct appeal and to accept as timely an accompanying appellate brief. We affirm.
