Highlight

The sufficiency of the factual basis to support a guilty plea is a question of law on appeal from a summary denial of an application of post-conviction relief, where the parties agree there were no disputed issues of fact.
Courts in post-conviction relief proceedings may consider information from the plea proceedings in addition to the factual basis presented to ensure there was a sufficient factual basis to support the guilty plea.
A court does not improperly infer an intent to deliver a controlled substance while establishing a factual basis to support a guilty plea, where the court relies on evidence of possession of a significant amount of the controlled substance and other items suggesting an intent to deliver.
