Text: These issues were raised in the motion to correct errors which was filed after the criminal trial. They relate to matters which occurred during that trial. The record before us does not contain the transcript of the criminal trial. Further, we find no place in the record, and Defendant cites to no place therein, where it is disclosed that he moved for the admission of the trial transcript as an exhibit in support of his claim for post conviction relief. The trial court made the following Conclusions of Law: 4. The issue of sufficiency of the evidence at trial which was raised herein by Petitioner is improper to be raised in a post-conviction proceeding, Brown v. State, Ind., 1974, 308 N.E.2d 699. 5. All other issues raised by Petitioner herein were waived because available to him on appeal. Perhaps the post-conviction judge did not need to refer to the transcript of the criminal trial in order to reach these conclusions; however, without that transcript we cannot determine whether or not Defendant successfully met his burden of proof with respect to the merits of the claimed errors. State v. Brown, (1975) 263 Ind. 77, 78-79, 324 N.E.2d 266, 267. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. GIVAN, C.J., and HUNTER and PIVARNIK, JJ., concur. DeBRULER, J., concurs in result.
