Court of Criminal Appeals of Alabama · decided 1992-01-17

Decided 1992-01-17

¶1ON RETURN TO REMAND

McMILLAN, Judge.

¶2In compliance with our instructions, the trial court has returned an order stating the basis and reasons for its denial of the appellant’s petition. Specifically, the trial court found that relief on grounds 2, 3, and 6 was procedurally barred and that relief on grounds 1, 4, 5, and 7 was both procedurally barred and barred on the merits. Also, the trial court found that the appellant’s claim of newly discovered material facts was without merit and that his claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel was procedurally barred on a conflict of interest claim and was without merit on the remaining claims. Finally, the trial court considered the appellant’s claim of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel and determined that the appellant was represented competently. The trial court found that the counsel’s performance was within the range of effective representation and that raising the current claims probably would not have affected the outcome of the appeal.

¶3Based on the record, the trial court’s denial of the appellant’s petition is proper. The judgment of the trial court is due to be, and it is hereby, affirmed.

¶4OPINION EXTENDED; AFFIRMED.

All Judges concur with MONTIEL, J., recusing himself.

¶5ON APPLICATION FOR REHEARING

McMILLAN, Judge.

¶6On January 17, 1992, this Court affirmed the trial court's denial of the appellant’s post-conviction petition. The appellant filed an application for rehearing in which he raised no issues that could not have been raised at the trial court level. Thereafter, the State filed an application for rehearing and a Rule 39(k), A.R.App.P., motion, requesting clarification of the basis for this Court’s affir-mance. The claims numbered one through seven raised in the appellant’s petition and his claim that the trial counsel was ineffective because of an alleged conflict of interest, are procedurally barred. His remaining claims, including those alleging newly discovered evidence and ineffectiveness of both trial and appellate counsel, are without merit and the trial court’s judgment denying them is affirmed.

¶7APPELLANT’S APPLICATION OVERRULED; STATE’S APPLICATION GRANTED; OPINION EXTENDED; AFFIRMED.

¶8All Judges concur with MONTIEL, J., recusing.
