Moore v. State

Summary

The court dismissed Moore’s appeal from the denial of his sentence-reduction and postconviction petition because the record showed that he could not prevail. The court held that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to modify the valid sentence after it was put into execution, and that Moore’s guilty-plea and ineffective-assistance claims failed under the governing postconviction standards. The motion for an extension of time to file a brief was therefore moot.
