4 later decisions quote this exact passage“is limited to the trial judge’s determination of whether the defendant has raised grounds that are both undeterminable from the record and reasonable, meaning they could entitle the defendant to relief. This is because the trial judge’s discretion extends only to deciding whether these two requirements are satisfied.

In fact, under such circumstances the trial judge abuses his discretion in failing to hold a hearing.”
