71 So.3d 1241 (2011)

Virgil Germaine WOODS, Appellant v. STATE of Mississippi, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Mississippi.

October 11, 2011.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Virgil Germaine Woods , appellant, pro se.

Office of the Attorney General by Laura Hogan Tedder , attorney for appellee.

Before LEE, C.J., MYERS and MAXWELL, JJ.

MAXWELL, J., for the Court:

¶ 1. Virgil Woods appeals the Warren County Circuit Court's summary dismissal of his motion for post-conviction relief (PCR), in which Woods challenged the validity of his guilty plea to armed robbery and his thirty-five-year sentence. Because (1) Woods fails to demonstrate any conduct by his counsel rendered his plea involuntary, and (2) his sentence does not offend the Eighth Amendment, we affirm.
