¶ 1. At a hearing on February 5, 2001, Terrilyn Smith pled guilty to two counts of uttering a forgery. Smith timely filed a motion for post-conviction relief (PCR) which was dismissed by the Circuit Court of Sunflower County without a hearing. Smith appeals, arguing that her guilty plea was involuntary and that she was denied effective assistance of counsel. We find these contentions to be without merit and affirm the summary dismissal of Smith's PCR.
