Maier v. State

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Maier's habeas petition because his allegations concerning counsel's alleged conflict of interest did not establish facial invalidity of the judgment or a jurisdictional defect. It also held that the alleged failure to follow the required procedure for a no-merit appeal and resulting due-process claim did not provide a basis for habeas relief. Maier's motion to amend the respondent was moot because the petition was meritless.
