Kenneth Leslie Jackson, San Luis Petitioner STATE v. JACKSON Decision of the Court

MEMORANDUM DECISION Judge Peter B. Swann delivered the decision of the court, in which Presiding Judge Andrew W. Gould and Judge Patricia A. Orozco joined.

S W A N N, Judge:

¶1 Kenneth Leslie Jackson petitions this court for review from the dismissal of his untimely successive proceeding for post-conviction relief. Jackson contends that his counsel in his “of-right” post-conviction- relief proceeding was ineffective because he failed to raise an issue under Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966).

¶2 We grant review, but we deny relief. Jackson could have raised his claim in a timely second post-conviction-relief proceeding.1 See Ariz. R. Crim. P. 32.4(a). Further, Jackson’s “of-right” counsel could not have raised a Miranda issue because a plea agreement waives all non- jurisdictional defenses, errors and defects, including deprivations of constitutional rights that occurred before the plea. State v. Moreno, 134 Ariz. 199, 200 (App. 1982); Tollett v. Henderson, 411 U.S. 258, 267 (1973).
