Syllabus

This Court only decides those issues which are thoroughly briefed and argued, and a party waives an issue by not providing adequate supporting argument. Summary dismissal of an application for postconviction relief is appropriate if there is no genuine issue of material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
