Gilliland v. State

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Gilliland’s petition seeking correction or reduction of his sentences. It held that his ineffective-assistance and trial-error claims were either subject to the time limits and jurisdictional requirements governing Rule 37.1 proceedings or were not cognizable under the sentence-correction statute. The court also held that the sentences were not illegal because they fell within the statutory ranges, and the petition was untimely even to the extent it raised claims cognizable under the sentence-correction statute.
