BURNETT, Judge,
specially concurring.
I join in Part I of the Court’s opinion and I concur in the result reached by Part II. I respectfully submit that the Court need not, and should not, address the substantive merits of issues discussed in Part II. The magistrate explicitly found that these issues were identical to those asserted in Parsons’ direct appeal from the judgment of conviction. That finding stands unchallenged. Neither has any showing been made under I.C. § 19 — 4901(b) of a reason to address these issues again in the context of post-conviction relief. Consequently, I would uphold the dismissal of Parsons’ application because it apparently sought nothing more than to relitigate the subject matter of her appeal.
