Description
PETERS, J. Petitioner, under rule 31(a) of the California Rules of Court, seeks relief from his default in failing to file his notice of appeal in a criminal case within the 10-day period required by law. Rule 31(a) provides for the granting of such relief in a proper case. This power to relieve from default is to be liberally exercised to avoid, if reasonably possible, the loss of the right to appeal. (See People v. Madrid, 62 Cal. 2d 602, 603 [43 Cal. Rptr. 638, 400 P.2d 750]; People v. Davis, 62 Cal. 2d 806, 807 [44 Cal. Rptr. 441, 402 P.2d 129], and cases cited therein.) Even applying this liberal rule of construction, petitioner has not presented a proper case for relief.
