Case Number
M2014-00948-CCA-R3-PC
Petitioner, John C. Crim, appeals the summary dismissal of his petition for post-conviction relief for failure to state a colorable claim. After careful review of the parties’ briefs, the record, and the applicable law, we conclude that the petition alleged a colorable claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, thereby entitling Petitioner to appointed counsel and to an opportunity to amend his petition with the aid of post-conviction counsel. Additional claims made by Petitioner were previously determined during his direct appeal and were, therefore, properly dismissed. Accordingly, the judgment of the post-conviction court is affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
