1Opinion of the Court

ROBERTS, J.,

for the Court.

¶ 1. Germar Harris pled guilty to selling cocaine. The Lowndes County Circuit Court sentenced Harris to twenty-five years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC). Harris subsequently filed a petition for post-conviction relief and claimed that: his guilty plea was involuntary; he received ineffective assistance of counsel; and the indictment under which he pled guilty was insufficient. The circuit court summarily dismissed Harris’s petition. Aggrieved, Harris appeals. Finding no error, we affirm.
