Nichols v. State

Summary

The court dismissed Nichols’s appeal from the denial of his postconviction petition because it was clear that he could not prevail. The court held that his ineffective-assistance claims failed for lack of factual support, lack of deficient performance, or lack of prejudice, and that his prosecutorial-misconduct claim was procedurally unavailable in a postconviction proceeding. His motions for additional time and public duplication of his brief were therefore moot.
