SHIELDS, P.J., concurs in result and files separate opinion.
SHIELDS, Presiding Judge concurring.
I concur in result. Because the issue John Green presents in his post-conviction proceeding was available on his direct appeal, he waived it when he failed to argue it on his direct appeal. Therefore, the issue is unavailable in a post-conviction proceeding unless it forms the basis for a claim of ineffective appellate counsel. Green failed to make a claim of ineffective appellate counsel and, accordingly, the post-conviction court did not err in denying him relief. Wickliffe v. State (1988), Ind., 523 N.E.2d 1385, 1388; Resnover v. State (1987), Ind., 507 N.E.2d 1382; Bailey v. State (1985), Ind., 472 N.E.2d 1260.
