James Roger Lee Hoover v. State Idaho

James Hoover appeals from the district court's summary dismissal of his petition for post-conviction relief. The issues are
whether Hoover's petition raised genuine issues of material fact preventing summary dismissal, and whether the district court
followed proper procedure in dismissing the petition. We affirm. On the advice of counsel, Hoover pled guilty to grand theft and two counts of petit theft. He was sentenced to the custody
of the State Board of Correction for an indeterminate ten-year term for the grand theft and for two concurrent one-year terms
for the two petit thefts. He petitioned for post-conviction relief, declaring that his plea of guilty had not been knowingly
entered because his counsel inadequately advised him of the intent element required for the crime of theft.
