APPLICATION FOR POST-CONVICTION COLLATERAL RELIEF IN CRIMINAL CASES (a) Filing of Applications. Applications for post-conviction collateral relief in criminal cases are governed by Miss. Code Ann. § 99-39-1, et seq. (Suppl. 1994) and this Rule 22. If any application fails to comply substantially with the statute, the clerk of the Supreme Court shall give written notice of the default, appraising apprising the party of the nature of the deficiency. If the deficiencies are not corrected within thirty days, the application may be dismissed. Successive applications for post-conviction relief which do not clearly demonstrate an exception to the successive writ bar of Miss. Code Ann. § 99-39-27(9) may subject the filer to sanctions. 2
