Highlight

Summary disposition is generally inappropriate for post-conviction claims of ineffective assistance of counsel because the underlying record and transcripts do not fully develop the record.

In opposing a State’s motion for summary disposition, an applicant for post-conviction relief may not merely rely on the pleadings or on unsupported conclusory allegations but must present competent admissible evidence by affidavit or other comparable means which raises an issue of material fact. A verified application for post-conviction relief may be treated as an affidavit to provide evidence to resist a motion for summary disposition.

If the petitioner raises an issue of material fact in resisting summary dismissal of an application for post-conviction relief, the petitioner is entitled to an evidentiary hearing.

When a criminal defendant is charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child, the charging document need not include specific dates of the sexual abuse.
