(e) The remedy herein provided is not a substitute for, nor does it affect any
remedies which are incident to the proceedings in the trial court or any remedy of
direct review of the sentence or conviction. Except as provided in subsection (a)(3) of
this section, a petition for relief under this subtitle may be filed at any time, except

take any action whatsoever on the petition, until the judgment of conviction becomes
final in the Court of Special Appeals. No appeals to the Court of Appeals or the Court
of Special Appeals in habeas corpus or coram nobis cases, or from other common-law
or statutory remedies which have heretofore been available for challenging the
validity of incarceration under sentence of death or imprisonment shall be permitted
or entertained, except appeals in such cases pending in the Court of Appeals on June

other proceeding in which a writ of habeas corpus is sought for any purpose other
than to challenge the legality of a conviction of a crime or sentence of death or
imprisonment therefor, including confinement as a result of a proceeding under
