State of Indiana v. Russell Oney

OPINION

NAJAM, Judge.

STATEMENT OF THE CASE

The State appeals the trial court’s order granting Russell Oney’s motion to set aside his 2002 guilty plea to the charge of operating a vehicle while an habitual traffic violator, a Class D felony (“HTV conviction”). The State presents a single issue for review: whether the trial court erred when it vacated Oney’s 2002 guilty plea to the HTV conviction on the ground that one of the predicate offenses to the HTV conviction had been reversed in post-conviction proceedings with the agreement of the State.

We reverse and remand.
