STATE of Nebraska, appellee v. Michael W. RYAN, appellant.

Supreme Court of Nebraska.

Filed April 18, 2014.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James R. Mowbray and Robert W. Kortus , of Nebraska Commission on Public Advocacy, for appellant.

Jon Bruning , Attorney General, and James D. Smith for appellee.

Michael W. Ryan, pro se.

Heavican, C.J., Wright, Connolly, Stephan, McCormack, and Miller-Lerman, JJ., and Inbody, Chief Judge.

Connolly, J.

SUMMARY

Michael W. Ryan, convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to death,1 moved for postconviction relief. The district court dismissed his motion without an evidentiary hearing. Because Ryan's motion failed to state a claim for postconviction relief, either because his claims were without legal basis or because they were not cognizable in postconviction, we affirm.
