OPINION OF THE COURT
(March 24, 2014)
Swan, Associate Justice.
Appellant, Joseph Elliott, Jr., appeals the trial court’s order denying his Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, which alleges that his constitutional rights were violated when the Information charging him with several crimes was amended. The Petition also alleges that the evidence was insufficient to convict him of the charges for which he pled guilty. We conclude that Elliott has advanced no credible claim warranting a reversal of the trial court’s Order; therefore, we affirm.
