Syllabus

The trial court did not err in overruling Appellant's petition for post-conviction relief because the petition was untimely and the claims asserted therein either lacked merit or were not cognizable in post-conviction proceedings. In addition, Appellant's claim that the post-conviction process is unconstitutional because it does not grant a petitioner the right to conduct discovery also lacks merit, as it is well established that post-conviction review is not a constitutional right and that a non-capital petitioner is not entitled to discovery in post-conviction proceedings. Judgment affirmed.
