Description
¶1 Based on a home invasion in 1984, respondent/cross-petitioner Samuel Wayne Swoopes was convicted after a jury trial of three counts each of armed robbery and kidnapping and one count each of first-degree burglary, sexual assault, and aggravated robbery. This court affirmed the convictions and sentences on appeal, State v. Swoopes, 155 Ariz. 432, 747 P.2d 593 (App. 1987) (Swoopes I), and our supreme court denied review. State v. Swoopes, Ariz. Sup. Ct. No. CR-87-0299-PR (order filed Jan. 12, 1988). Swoopes first sought post-conviction relief in 1990, which both the trial court and this court denied. State v. Swoopes, No. 2 CA-CR 90-0715-PR (order filed Feb. 21, 1991). Thereafter, Swoopes sought relief in federal district court, filing a petition for writ of habeas corpus. Ultimately, in March 2003, the district court stayed that proceeding so Swoopes could "bring[] his unexhausted claims to the state courts."*fn1 Swoopes then commenced this, his second post-conviction proceeding, pursuant to Rule 32, Ariz. R. Crim. P., 17 A.R.S.
