Description
Joseph Dyre Morse was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. On writ of error, we affirmed his conviction. Morse v. People, 168 Colo. 494, 452 P.2d 3 (1969). Thereafter, pursuant to Crim. P. 35(b), he initiated post-conviction proceedings in the district court raising the same issues he had previously asserted on writ of error. The district court refused to consider two issues because they had been theretofore resolved by this court and found the remaining two issues to be without merit. The appellant claims that the district court disposed of the issues erroneously. He further asserts that the district judge improperly forced him to either waive his attorney-client privilege or his claim of incompetence of counsel. We have determined that appellants claims are without merit and affirm the district court.
