Procedure for the making of the motion is as set out in G.S. 15A-1420.\n(b)\tA motion for appropriate relief, whether made before or after the entry of judgment, is a motion in the original cause and not a new proceeding.\n(c)\tThe relief formerly available by motion in arrest of judgment, motion to set aside the verdict, motion for new trial, post-conviction proceedings, coram nobis and all other post-trial motions is available by motion for appropriate relief. The availability of relief by motion for appropriate relief is not a bar to relief by writ of habeas corpus.\n(d)\tA claim of factual innocence asserted through the North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission does not constitute a motion for appropriate relief and does not impact rights or relief provided for in this Article.
