Rule 24.111 - POST-CONVICTION RELIEF - FILING OF DOCUMENTS WHEN PETITIONER IS REPRESENTED BY COUNSELAll matters submitted to the court for filing shall be submitted only by counsel and, except for the petition or amended petition and any exhibits, signed exclusively by counsel. The only exception to this requirement is a Church v. Gladden, 244 Or 308, 417 P 2d 993 (1966) notice filed by the petitioner (hereafter referred to as a Church notice) if the petitioner believes counsel has failed to raise all meritorious claims on his or her behalf.
(1) The Church notice, together with supporting evidence as required by ORS 138.580, must be filed no later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the amended petition or notice of intent to proceed on the original petition.(2) Each claim included in the Church notice shall include appropriate reference to the evidence in support of that claim including the exhibit number and page where referenced information can be found.(3) Each exhibit must be attached only one time. Any exhibit that was previously submitted should not be attached to the Church notice but should be referenced by citing the exhibit number and page number thereof.(4) Unless oral argument is requested in the caption and body of the Church notice, the court may decide any issues raised without hearing.(5) No response is required to pro se claims asserted in a Church notice unless ordered by the court. However, both appointed counsel and counsel for the defendant may respond if desired.Umatilla Supp. L. R. 24.111
