| 2 | Swanson v. State | green | “if the availability of relief cannot be conclusively determined from a pro se petition and the accompanying records, the petitioner must be given the aid of counsel.” | 17 |
| 3 | Burnett v. State | green | “a claim that, if taken as true, in the light most favorable to the petitioner, would entitle petitioner to relief under the post-conviction procedure act.” | 10 |
| 4 | Shazel v. State | green | “there obviously is an important distinction between the right to seek relief in a post-conviction proceeding and the right to have relief in a post-conviction proceeding.” | 8 |
