Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Atty. Gen. T. Travis Medlock and Chief Deputy Atty. Gen. Donald J. Zelenka, Columbia, for respondent.


HARWELL, Chief Justice:

Drayton alleges that the PCR judge erred in ruling that a number of issues raised by Drayton were barred from collateral review, and in finding that Drayton had received effective assistance of counsel. We disagree and affirm.
