People v. Stubblefield

Defendant appealed from a trial court order denying him pretrial release under the Pre-Trial Fairness Act. The State filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for failure to comply with SCR 604(h). The appellate court dismissed the appeal, finding that defendant failed to comply with the requirements of SCR 604(h) because the notice of appeal did not describe the relief requested and the grounds for the relief requested and that it was not sufficient for defendant to merely check boxes on a preprinted form without providing the additional information required by the rule. (DeARMOND and KNECHT, concurring)
