Text: ¶ 252. On January 21, 1997, Russell's original trial attorneys, W.S. Stuckey and Whitman Mounger, filed a motion for post-conviction relief. At that time Stuckey and Mounger were still counsel of record for Russell. We find that the motion for post-conviction relief filed by Stuckey and Mounger should be denied. ¶ 253. In July 2001 Russell filed a pro se letter in which he complained about his treatment and asked to waive his appeals and set a date for his execution. Subsequently, Russell's post-conviction counsel filed a notice regarding State's motion. To the extent that these papers ask for relief we find that they should be dismissed as moot.
