Plessy v. State

Summary

The court denied Plessy's petition seeking to reinvest the trial court with jurisdiction to rule on postconviction issues omitted from the order denying relief. It held that incarceration-related difficulties and limited access to legal materials did not establish good cause for failing to comply with procedural requirements, including the thirty-day deadline for seeking a ruling on omitted issues. The court also dismissed the appeal because Plessy acknowledged it lacked merit absent the requested ruling and failed to file a supporting brief.
