Whiteman v. State

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Whiteman’s motion seeking to set aside his 1987 burglary conviction because he was no longer in custody for that conviction, and the later use of the conviction for habitual-offender sentencing did not qualify as a collateral legal burden. The Court also found that Whiteman was attempting to challenge his 1989 sentence, reiterated that his filings abused the judicial process, and enjoined him from pursuing future appellate or extraordinary-writ proceedings concerning either conviction or sentence without the required sworn affidavit.
