Topic: Post-conviction relief - Successive motion - Section 99-39-27(9)

Summary of the Facts: Wendell Duncan pled guilty to armed robbery. He was sentenced to thirty years to run consecutively to a previously imposed sentence of twelve years on a burglary conviction. Duncan filed a motion for post-conviction relief and another motion termed a "Writ of Habeas Corpus" which was denied. He appeals.

Summary of Opinion Analysis: Section 99-39-27(9) bars a second or successive application for post-conviction relief. Duncan initial motion was brought in 1996 and was denied. Therefore, his second motion is procedurally barred. It is also time barred as it does not fall within the allotted three year time limitation.
