James v. State

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that the timeliness of a motion to withdraw a guilty plea in a postconviction petition is treated the same as “the manner in which delays in filing petitions for postconviction relief are treated”
• concluding that defendant was entitled to plea withdrawal or sentence modification where district court failed to inform him about conditional-release term at either plea hearing or sentencing hearing and failed to 7 impose conditional-release term at time of sentencing
• stating that after the time for direct appeal, the only way to seek plea withdrawal is by postconviction proceedings
• stating that determining what the terms of a plea agreement are is a factual inquiry to be resolved by the postconviction court
• concluding that the mandatory conditional-release term could not be imposed because the resulting sentence “was in excess of the upper limit contemplated at the time [the defendant] entered into the plea agreement” and he was not informed of the conditional-release term before sentencing
• stating that when delay is deliberate and inexcusable, constituting an abuse of the judicial process, there is a sufficient basis to justify denial of relief solely on the basis that the petition is untimely
