Boone v. State

Summary

The Court held that Boone’s motion for postconviction relief was premature because his judgment of conviction was not final when he filed it. Because Boone later filed a direct appeal, finality would occur only when that appeal was finally resolved by this Court. The Court remanded with directions to vacate the denial without prejudice to Boone’s right to file a first postconviction motion after his conviction becomes final.
