SANDERS v. STATE

No. 45S05-0004-PC-285.

733 N.E.2d 928 (2000)

William A. SANDERS, Appellant (Petitioner below), v. STATE of Indiana, Appellee (Respondent below).

Supreme Court of Indiana.

August 21, 2000.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Susan K. Carpenter, Public Defender of Indiana, John A. England, Deputy Public Defender, Indianapolis, IN, Attorneys for Appellant (Before the Court of Appeals).

William A. Sanders, Appellant Pro Se (On Transfer).

Jeffrey A. Modisett, Attorney General of Indiana, Liisi Brien, Deputy Attorney General, Indianapolis, IN, Attorneys for Appellee.

SULLIVAN, Justice.

William A. Sanders filed for post-conviction relief approximately two years after the completion of an unsuccessful direct appeal. The post-conviction court denied the petition on grounds of laches and the Court of Appeals affirmed. Sanders, acting pro se, now appeals his denial of post-conviction relief. We hold that the post-conviction court erred in finding that Sanders waited an unreasonable length of time to file his petition.
