Postconviction Petitions
Defendant filed pro se petition for postconviction relief which advanced to second-stage proceedings. Appointed counsel properly filed a Rule 651(c) certificate. Counsel was not required to again satisfy mandates of Rule 651(c) as to Defendant's subsequent pro se filings. Appointed counsel's duties under Rule 651(c) were limited to those claims made in his original pro se motion for postconviction relief.
(LYTTON and SCHMIDT, concurring.)
