Docket Number | No. 111,299,111,299 |
Citation | 395 P.3d 447 |
Parties | Shannon BOGGUESS, Appellant, v. STATE of Kansas, Appellee. |
Court | Kansas Supreme Court |
Krystle M. S. Dalke, of Law Office of Michael P. Whalen, of Wichita, argued the cause, and Michael P. Whalen, of the same firm, was with her on the brief for appellant.
Matt J. Maloney, assistant district attorney, argued the cause, and Marc Bennett, district attorney, and Derek Schmidt, attorney general, were with him on the brief for appellee.
In 2008, the State charged Shannon Bogguess with first-degree murder, aggravated robbery, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated assault, and criminal possession of a firearm—crimes for which he was ultimately convicted. His convictions were affirmed on appeal, and he later filed this action pursuant to K.S.A. 60-1507. The trial court denied the motion after conducting a nonevidentiary hearing, and the Court of Appeals affirmed on alternative grounds. We affirm the judgment of the district court and the judgment of the Court of Appeals, albeit on only one of its stated alternative grounds.
On the morning Bogguess was scheduled to go before a jury for trial, he requested a bench trial on stipulated facts. The district court conducted the following colloquy with Bogguess:
At this point, the trial judge noted that he had conducted the preliminary hearing, heard the pretrial motions, reviewed Bogguess' interrogation tape, and read the documents provided as part of the stipulation. The trial judge also had a copy of the three-page stipulation agreement. The district court verified once again that Bogguess wanted to proceed under that agreement:
The district court ultimately found Bogguess guilty on all counts. On the day of his scheduled sentencing, Bogguess filed a pro se "motion to dismiss counsel." Essentially, Bogguess made two claims in support of his dissatisfaction with his appointed counsel: (1) a conflict of interest because one of the potential prosecution witnesses was the cousin of an attorney at appointed counsel's firm; and (2) ineffective assistance of counsel for failing to present a closing argument at trial.
At his sentencing hearing, the district court denied Bogguess' motion after it questioned him about his claims. With respect to dissatisfaction arising from appointed counsel's performance, the district court ruled:
The district court then sentenced Bogguess to life in prison without the possibility of parole for 25 years for the first-degree murder count and imposed a consecutive 631 months' imprisonment for the remaining counts.
Bogguess directly appealed his conviction and sentence, which we affirmed. State v. Bogguess (Bogguess I) , 293 Kan. 743, 268 P.3d 481 (2012). Among the several issues we resolved in his direct appeal, we considered and rejected Bogguess' claim that the district court erred by denying his pro se motion on the day of sentencing.
It is important to note that we evaluated both the conflict of interest claim and the ineffective assistance of counsel claim within the framework of a motion to disqualify counsel and appoint new counsel. See Bogguess I , 293 Kan. at 753–54, 268 P.3d 481 ( ). We did not discuss or conduct any analysis under Strickland v. Washington , 466 U.S. 668, 689, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed. 2d 674 (1984) ( ). Nor did we hear arguments concerning or consider whether Bogguess was entitled to a remand for an evidentiary hearing on his claims pursuant to State v. Van Cleave , 239 Kan. 117, 119–121, 716 P.2d 580 (1986) ( ). Instead, we found that Bogguess I , 293 Kan. at 754, 268 P.3d 481.
Subsequently, Bogguess filed the instant case, a pro se K.S.A. 60-1507 motion collaterally attacking his conviction and sentence. As explained by the Court of Appeals panel below:
