Ruiz (Carlos) v. State ( 2013 )


Menu:
  •                 petition was procedurally barred absent a demonstration of good cause
    and actual prejudice. See NRS 34.726(1); NRS 34.810(1)(b); NRS
    34.810(3).
    Appellant claimed that he had good cause because his post-
    conviction counsel failed to raise the twelve grounds for relief in the prior
    proceedings. Ineffective assistance of post-conviction counsel would not be
    good cause in the instant case because the appointment of counsel in the
    prior post-conviction proceedings was not statutorily or constitutionally
    required. Crump v. Warden,

    that no relief based upon those submissions is warranted.
