Indiana Supreme Court September 29, 1999, 45S03-9810-PC-602 (Williams v. State)

ON PETITION TO TRANSFER

FRANK SULLIVAN, JR., Justice.

Douglas W. Williams filed for post-conviction relief 21 months (arguably five months) after the completion of his unsuccessful direct appeal. Later Williams unsuccessfully sought to withdraw the case from the post-conviction judge for failure to rule. The court ultimately dismissed on grounds of laches.
