How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that Arizona applies the prison mailbox rule in pro se post-conviction proceedings
  • noting that a colorable claim of ineffective assistance of counsel must be based on something more than “mere speculation”
  • noting the showing of prejudice needed to obtain relief on an IAC claim “must be that of a provable reality, not mere speculation”
  • determining plea involuntary if defendant “based his decision to plead to the offenses based upon his [mistaken] belief that he could be paroled at one-half of his incarceration terms”
  • noting burden to show an ineffective assistance of counsel claim “is on the petitioner and the showing must be that of a provable reality, not mere speculation”
  • explaining the rule’s rationale is that pro se prisoners are unable to ensure pleadings are timely filed because they cannot personally file pleadings in the clerk’s office or directly place pleadings in the mail
