Woods v. State

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Woods's motion challenging his weapon convictions and sentences. It held that challenges to the validity of convictions fall outside the scope of the sentence-correction rule and that Woods's successive postconviction claims were procedurally barred because he pleaded guilty and identified neither qualifying new evidence nor a retroactive constitutional rule. The Court also denied in forma pauperis status based on Woods's false certifications and restricted future filings concerning his convictions and sentences unless accompanied by the required fee or a properly supported application.
