Description
MILLER, P.J. Christopher Brown appeals the trial court's denial of his motion for post-conviction relief[Footnote 1] under Ind. Rules of Procedure, Post-Conviction Rule 1. Brown pleaded guilty to one count of theft[Footnote 2] and one count of forgery[Footnote 3] committed on May 9, 1978 and February 14, 1978 respectively. After a combined guilty plea hearing, Brown was sentenced to two eight year terms to run consecutively. On July 6, 1981 Brown filed a petition for post-conviction relief alleging 1) ineffective assistance of counsel; 2) inability to understand the proceedings due to the legal terminology used 3) coercion of his guilty pleas through threat of additional charges including an habitual offender count; and 4) expectation of a less severe sentence. Brown's petition for post-conviction relief was denied by the trial court after a hearing. Brown timely filed a motion to correct errors raising substantially the same issues as alleged in his petition for post-conviction relief.
