1. “(C.R.307-76.) II. Payne contends that we should remand this cause to the circuit court for an evidentiary hearing on his claims of newly discovered evidence—a Brady violation— and of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel. The state agrees. [3] Based on the pleadings before us, we are unable to determine whether Payne's claim of newly discovered evidence was properly precluded. Therefore, we must remand this cause for further consideration. Additionally, Payne's claims that appellate counsel was ineffective may also, if true, be meritorious.”
