The appellant, who previously pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and had his sentence appeal and motion to extend time to appeal conviction dismissed, filed a habeas corpus application seeking immediate release.
He alleged irregularities in his guilty plea and complained about his conditions of confinement.
The application judge summarily dismissed the application as manifestly frivolous, noting it was an attempt to bypass the statutory review process and appeal his conviction out of time.
The Court of Appeal found no error in the application judge's analysis and dismissed the appeal.
