Morgan v. State

WAHL, Justice.

John Pierpont Morgan, Jr. petitioned for post-conviction relief pursuant to Minn. Stat. ch. 590 (1984). The Cass County District Court summarily denied the petition. Morgan appeals the summary nature of the denial and seeks an order requiring a district court hearing on the merits of the petition. We hold Morgan was not entitled to a hearing on the petition and affirm the post-conviction court’s denial of the petition on its merits.

The history and facts of this case are known to the court. State v. Morgan, 310 Minn. 88, 246 N.W.2d 165 (1976) cert. denied, 430 U.S. 936, 97 S.Ct.…
