Wright v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAppellant pled guilty to overdraft and failure to register as a sex offender. In the latest of a series of motions that Appellant filed seeking to set aside his convictions for failure to register as a sex offender, Appellant filed this petition for postconviction relief, contending that his convictions should be overturned because an Oklahoma court vacated the rape conviction on which the registration requirement was based, that the circuit court's refusal to set aside the convictions violated the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution, and that under federal law it was the responsibility of the releasing institution to inform the local government of the requirement to register. The circuit court denied postconviction relief. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that (1) because the petition was not timely filed, the circuit court did not have jurisdiction to consider it; and (2) because Appellant previously sought postconviction relief, he was not entitled to seek such relief again.
