Syllabus

The appellant's assignment of error as to whether the trial court erred by denying her request for a month-long continuance was barred under the doctrine of res judicata. The appellant's assignments of error regarding whether her plea was knowing and voluntary, based on the trial court's denial of a month-long continuance and the state's refusal to keep the plea offer open, could have been raised on direct appeal and, thus, were also precluded under res judicata. The trial court's determination that trial counsel was not ineffective was reasonable. Judgment affirmed.
