Summary

The Court held that a defendant may waive post‑conviction habeas corpus rights only if the waiver is made voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently, and that such a waiver does not bar a claim that the guilty plea was the product of ineffective assistance of counsel; the other asserted claims were deemed waived and the application was remanded for further proceedings on the ineffective‑assistance claim.
