He was sentenced to three years on the firearms charge and twenty-five years on the burglary charge to run consecutively. Johnson filed a motion for post-conviction relief which the court dismissed. Johnson appeals. |
| Summary of Opinion Analysis: | Motions for post-conviction relief must be filed within three years of entry of judgment of conviction. Johnson’s motion was untimely.
