        "text": "Per Curiam.\nAccording to the pro se motion for belated appeal before us, petitioner Robert L. Barton filed a pro se petition for postconviction relief under Rule 37 in the trial court. It was denied. The trial court notified petitioner of the denial by letter dated April 28, 1982. The trial court also advised him by letter dated May 5,1982, that his next option was to proceed to the Supreme Court. Nevertheless, \u201cthrough ignorance of the law,\u201d he sought federal habeas corpus relief rather than filing a notice of appeal to this Court. When the federal court denied relief on the ground that he had failed to exhaust state remedies, he filed this motion for belated appeal.\nThe motion is denied. Just as a convicted defendant may waive his right to appeal by failure without good cause to file a notice of appeal, a petitioner whose Rule 37 petition is denied may also waive his right to appeal. Petitioner concedes that he was informed by the trial court that his next step was to proceed in the Supreme Court. He has shown no good reason for not doing so.\nMotion denied.",
