Olivarez v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAppellant Jonathan Olivarez pled guilty to charges of delivery of methamphetamine, attempted murder in the first degree, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Appellant timely filed a petition for postconviction relief, alleging ineffective assistance of counsel based on trial counsel's failure to correctly inform him of his parole eligibility. The trial court denied Appellant's petition without an evidentiary hearing. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that, based on the transcript of the plea hearing and the alleged positive misrepresentations of trial counsel regarding Appellant's parole eligibility, there was no conclusive showing that Appellant was entitled to no relief as determined by the trial court. Remanded.
