State vs. James Hankins

James R. Hankins appeals the Shelby County Criminal Court's denial of his petition for post-conviction relief. All of his allegations are without merit, save one. Hankins has established by clear and convincing evidence that his counsel on direct appeal failed to follow the required procedures for withdrawal of counsel under Supreme Court Rule 14. Accordingly, we affirm in part, reverse in part, and vacate and reinstate our judgment in Hankins' direct appeal.
