BROWN, Justice,1
dissenting.
I dissent.
In a series of recent cases this court has subverted the purposes and spirit of Wyoming’s post-conviction relief scheme. Fondren v. State, 749 P.2d 767 (Wyo.1988); Alberts v. State, 745 P.2d 898 (Wyo.1987); Long v. State, 745 P.2d 547 (Wyo.1987). I dissented and joined Justice Cardine in his dissent in these cases. For the reasons stated in these three dissents I disagree with the majority in the present case.
This court has placed an unwarranted burden on the office of public defender and has effectively provided for yet a second appeal. The post-conviction relief act should be abolished.

. Chief Justice, Retired, June 30, 1988.
