Editors' Notes
COMMENT
Rule 32.1(a). Most traditional collateral attacks are encompassed within this provision. Claims of denial of counsel, of incompetency of counsel, and of violation of other rights based on the federal or Arizona constitutions are included.
Rule 32.1(b). This provision retains the basic attack on jurisdiction universally recognized as a ground for collateral attack.
Rule 32.1(c). This provision is intended to allow an attack on a sentence even though the petitioner does not contest the validity of the underlying conviction.
Rule 32.1(d). This provision is not intended to include attacks on the conditions of imprisonment or on correctional practices or prison rules. It is intended to include claims of more traditional types--e.g., miscalculation of sentence, questions of computation of good time--which result in the defendant remaining in custody when he should be free. Appeals from the conviction and imposition of probation must be filed no later than 20 days of the entry of judgment and sentence. See Rules 26.1, 26.16(a), and 31.2.
Rule 32.1(f). This provision includes the situation in which the defendant fails to appeal because the trial court, despite the requirements of Rule 26.11(a)(1), did not advise him of his appeal rights, and the situation in which the defendant intended to appeal and thought timely appeal had been filed by his attorney when in reality it had not.
Rule 32.1(h). This claim is independent of a claim under Rule 32.1(e). A defendant who establishes a claim of newly discovered evidence does not need to comply with the requirements of Rule 32.1(h).
