2show a final disposition. For purposes of this Section, a final

6 (1) in the proceedings which resulted in his or her
7 conviction or delinquency adjudication there was a
8 substantial denial of his or her rights under the
9 Constitution of the United States or of the State of
10 Illinois or both; or
11 (2) the death penalty was imposed and there is newly
12 discovered evidence not available to the person at the time
13 of the proceeding that resulted in his or her conviction
14 that establishes a substantial basis to believe that the
15 defendant is actually innocent by clear and convincing
16 evidence.
17 (a-5) A proceeding under paragraph (2) of subsection (a)
18may be commenced within a reasonable period of time after the
19person's conviction or delinquency adjudication
20notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article. In such a
21proceeding regarding actual innocence, if the court determines
22the petition is frivolous or is patently without merit, it
23shall dismiss the petition in a written order, specifying the
24findings of fact and conclusions of law it made in reaching its
25decision. Such order of dismissal is a final judgment and shall
26be served upon the petitioner by certified mail within 10 days

13petition for writ of certiorari is filed, no proceedings under
14this Article shall be commenced more than 6 months after the
15conclusion of proceedings in the United States Supreme Court,
16unless the petitioner alleges facts showing that the delay was
17not due to his or her culpable negligence. If a petition for
18certiorari is not filed, no proceedings under this Article
19shall be commenced more than 6 months from the date for filing
20a certiorari petition, unless the petitioner alleges facts
21showing that the delay was not due to his or her culpable
22negligence.

20evaluate the petition to determine whether it could otherwise
21have stated some grounds for relief under this Article.
22 (e) A proceeding under this Article may not be commenced on
23behalf of a defendant who has been sentenced to death without
24the written consent of the defendant, unless the defendant,

25 miscarriage of justice by adequately pleading that there is
26 newly discovered evidence that establishes a substantial
