Description
Travis Ward pled guilty to the rape of a female suffering from Alzheimer's disease. The victim was a patient at a nursing
home in Ada County. On April 10, 1990, the district court entered a judgment of conviction and sentenced Ward to a term of
twenty years' incarceration, with a fixed minimum of ten years. Following the court's denial of his motions for reconsideration
of his sentence, Ward appealed claiming that the sentence imposed constituted an abuse of discretion in that the objectives
of sentencing could be achieved by means of a lesser term of imprisonment. The notice of appeal from the denial of Ward's pro se motion for reconsideration of the sentence and a separate I.C.R. 35
motion was filed within forty-two days of the July 20, 1990, order denying those motions. However, neither of those motions
were filed within fourteen days from the judgment of conviction and therefore did not extend the time for an appeal from the
judgment. I.A.R. 14(a). No timely appeal having been taken from the judgment, Ward's appeal from the July 20 order can not
encompass any alleged errors in the judgment. The jurisdiction of this Court, therefore, is limited to a review of the denial
of the motion for reconsideration of the sentence. See State v. Swan, 113 Idaho 859, 748 P.2d 1389 (Ct.App.1988); State v.
Hirshbrunner, 105 Idaho 168, 667 P.2d 271 (Ct.App.1983).
