The Nevada Supreme Court has accepted Duane “Keffe D” Davis’ appeal in the Tupac Shakur murder case. Court records show the case was officially filed on Nov. 9.

Davis’ attorney, Michael Sanft, submitted the notice of appeal on Oct. 30. Sanft died last week at his home in Las Vegas. Details of his death have not been released, and police are investigating.

Davis has no legal representation following Sanft’s death, and it is unclear how the appeal will proceed. The court gave Davis two weeks to file a transcript request form, three weeks to submit a docketing statement and 120 days to file an opening brief.

In October, Davis, 63, was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison after being found guilty of first-degree murder in the 1996 death of Tupac Shakur. After the verdict, he told the judge he wanted to appeal and retrieve items seized during the investigation.

Prosecutors believe Davis supplied the gun used to kill Shakur and was present during the shooting on Sept. 7, 1996. The three other men believed to have been involved have also died. They include Davis’ nephew Orlando Anderson, described as the alleged gunman, who was killed in 1998.
