Upon defendant's giving notice of intention to apply to the Court of Appeal for a writ of review, the trial judge ordered that the application for writs be filed in the Court of Appeal on or before May 14, 1984. Upon defendant's motion, the time in which to file the writ application was extended until May 24, 1984. Rules 4-2, 4-3, Uniform Rules of the Courts of Appeal.
The defendant's application was filed in the Court of Appeal by mailing same addressed to the clerk. The mailing was postmarked May 29, 1984, and is considered filed as of that date. Rule 2-13, Uniform Rules of the Courts of Appeal.
