Matakis v. State
Annotate this CaseAppellant pleaded guilty to first-degree sexual conduct. Appellant was sentenced to a term of 144 months. Appellant later filed a petition for postconviction relief seeking to withdraw his guilty plea, alleging that his guilty plea was not knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently made. The postconviction court denied the request for relief. The court of appeals affirmed, noting that the petition did not meet the basic requirements of the postconviction statute. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that because Appellant did not provide a single factual allegation to support his claim that his guilty plea was not knowingly, voluntarily, or intelligently made, his petition did not meet the requirements of Minn. Stat. 590.02(1)(1).
