Mathis v. State

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Mathis's postconviction petition, concluding that his ineffective-assistance claims either were not preserved, were conclusory, lacked a meritorious underlying basis, or failed to show prejudice. The court also held that his sufficiency-of-the-evidence and sentencing challenges were not cognizable in the postconviction proceeding and that he failed to identify a valid objection counsel should have made. No separate opinions were filed.
