As amended through December 12, 2023

Rule 32.4 - Nature of proceeding and relation to other remedies

A proceeding under this rule displaces all post-trial remedies except posttrial motions under Rule 24 and appeal.

Proceedings under this rule shall be governed by the Rules of Criminal Procedure, except that the trial court in its sole discretion may allow the taking of depositions for discovery or for use at trial.
