Disposition notice
Anthony Browns sought permission to file a belated notice of appeal under the constructive filing doctrine. The respondent did not oppose the request, and the Fifth District Court of Appeal concluded Browns was entitled to relief. The court granted leave to file a notice of appeal in Kings County Superior Court action No. 25CM0872B on or before 60 days from the date of its October 27, 2026 order. It also ordered a writ of mandate directing the superior court clerk to file the request, treat it as timely filed, and prepare the appellate record under the applicable California Rules of Court if the request was received by that deadline. The opinion is final forthwith as to the Court of Appeal. The original order is attributed to "THE COURT*"; the same-page asterisk identifies Levy, Acting Presiding Justice, Meehan, and Guerra as the panel. The order gives no further factual or merits analysis beyond constructive filing and non-opposition.
