Practice question
A petitioner learns of the judgment, waits seventy days without a saving circumstance, then files Rule38 within six months from entry. It says the outer limit alone is enough. Which is best?
- Both periods are required, so the stated knowledge-period failure defeats that timing argument
- Six months automatically replaces sixty days
- Knowledge never matters
- The court must ignore all periods
- Any late petition automatically becomes an appeal
