Jason Paul Mathison v. Washington
DueProcess
1. Are constitutional rights of due process violated when a court
imposes a condition that requires a defendant to "successfully
complete" a treatment program without defining what constitutes
completion, or when that completion will be considered attained,
and then punishes the defendant for failing to meet the requirement?
2. Are constitutional rights of due process violated when state law
requires that a defendant be informed of the time limit for
collateral attack at sentencing but, instead, the defendant is not
actually informed of that time limit until after it has passed and
his subsequent collateral attack is then dismissed as untimely?
3. Are constitutional rights of due process violated when a motion to
withdraw a negotiated plea agreement that is involuntary, due to
misinformation or ambiguity regarding direct consequences of the
plea, is denied as untimely when the misinformation was not
discovered until after the time limit for collateral attack has
passed?
