Description

Chester Levon Maxwell, a state prisoner under sentence of death,{/Cite} filed with this Court a petition for habeas corpus challenging the legality of his conviction and sentence. He also filed a motion to set aside judgment and sentence under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. The trial court denied the rule 3.850 motion, and Maxwell appealed the ruling to this Court. In connection with his habeas corpus petition and his appeal of the denial of post-conviction relief, Maxwell moved for a stay of the then-scheduled execution of the sentence of death pending further consideration of the petition and the appeal. Because a majority of the Court found that the matters at issue could not be satisfactorily resolved on an expedited basis, we entered a stay of execution on November 6, 1984. Having now given careful consideration to all the issues raised in both of the proceedings before us, we affirm the denial of the motion to set aside judgment and sentence and deny the petition for habeas corpus.
