GIVAN, Chief Justice,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent from the majority opinion in this case.
The question of the sufficiency of the evidence to support a Class A felony was a question to be presented in the original appeal; by law it is not a proper subject matter for presentation in a post-conviction relief hearing. Brown v. State, (1974) 261 Ind. 619, 308 N.E.2d 699. There was no factual matter to be determined by the trial court.
I see absolutely no reason to reverse this case because of the failure to grant a continuance.
I would, therefore, affirm the trial court.
PIVARNIK, J., concurs.
