Criminal Procedure
New trials; ineffective  assistance

Burt Terrell Johnson, Jr. appeals the judgment convicting him of burglary, contrary to Wis. Stat. § 943.10(1m)(a). He also appeals the order denying his postconviction motion. Johnson contends that we should grant him a new trial because his trial counsel was ineffective. In the alternative, he argues that the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion at sentencing. We disagree and affirm.  Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
