Description
Bethea Parsons application for post-conviction relief from a misdemeanor conviction was summarily dismissed in the magistrate division. She appealed to the district court only to have her appeal dismissed. She has appealed from the district courts decision, questioning the procedures employed and the Conclusions reached by both the magistrate and the district Judge. We must determine whether the procedures used by the lower courts were proper. We must also determine whether, as a matter of law, the claims in Parsons application entitle her to relief. We conclude that the lower courts erred in their decisions on procedure; but, as will be explained, the errors are harmless. We hold that Parsons substantive claims do not entitle her to relief for reasons given in this opinion.
