Opinion
Nos. 45179, 45205.
February 6, 1976.
Criminal law — postconviction proceeding — denial of relief — propriety.
Appeal by Earthia B. Wiley from an order of the Hennepin County District Court, Crane Winton, Judge, denying his petition for postconviction relief after he had been convicted of robbery in the second degree. Affirmed.
Rosalie E. Wahl, Special Assistant State Public Defender, for appellant.
Warren Spannaus, Attorney General, Gary W. Flakne, County Attorney, and Vernon E. Bergstrom, Michael McGlennen, and David W. Larson, Assistant County Attorneys, for respondent.
Heard before Otis, Todd, and Yetka, JJ., and considered and decided by the court en banc.
Defendant, Earthia B. Wiley, (Wiley), seeks review of an order dismissing his petition for postconviction relief on a 1959 second-degree robbery conviction. This case has an extensive procedural history including a disposition on direct appeal by this court of many of the issues Wiley now seeks to review in a postconviction proceeding. During these extensive proceedings, Wiley sometimes appeared pro se, but had the assistance of counsel at his original trial and in this postconviction proceeding.
State v. Wiley, 260 Minn. 88, 108 N.W.2d 774 (1961).
Wiley was sentenced on March 11, 1959, to an indeterminate term of 2 to 15 years and committed to the State Reformatory for Men at St. Cloud. He served approximately 2 years before being placed on parole on May 24, 1961, and was discharged from his sentence with full restoration of his rights and citizenship on November 17, 1965. This postconviction proceeding was commenced on October 18, 1973.
Wiley raised numerous issues at the hearing on his petition for postconviction relief. We have carefully considered each of these issues, based on a review of the records and proceedings herein, and are satisfied that the well-reasoned disposition of Wiley's claim by the lower court obviates the necessity for further exposition by this court.
Affirmed.
MR. JUSTICE SCOTT took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.
