Ryan Grant v. State of Minnesota

Summary

The court held that the reasonable-probability standard governing preliminary applications under the Act also governs a petition to vacate a conviction under subdivision 6(e)(2). The court concluded that the court of appeals applied a materially different standard and therefore reversed and remanded for reconsideration under the correct standard. The court also clarified that such a denial is reviewed for abuse of discretion, with legal questions reviewed de novo and factual findings for clear error.
