Text: SENTENCE AS A HABITUAL OFFENDER. ¶9. We find that Hires' claims pertaining to the entry of the guilty plea on the charge of escape and the enhanced sentence as a habitual offender are time barred under Miss. Code Ann. § 99-39-5 (Rev. 2000), which mandates that petitions for post-conviction collateral relief must be filed within three years of the date the order of conviction is entered. The record shows that the order on Hires' guilty plea and enhanced sentence was entered on May 8, 1985. The PCR petition was not filed until December 20, 2000. While it is true that Hires filed a petition for writ of certiorari with this Court in January of 1986, Hires was attempting to appeal his conviction for kidnaping, not his conviction for escape or enhanced sentence.
