Criminal Procedure — Postconviction discovery — ineffective assistance

Victor Holm, pro se, appeals a judgment convicting him of first-degree intentional homicide, as party to a crime, and an order denying postconviction relief. Holm argues the circuit court erred by: (1) violating the law of the case doctrine when a successor judge allegedly “started over from step one upon taking over the case”; (2) refusing to deem admitted Holm’s requests for admission; (3) failing to accept as true the allegations in Holm’s affidavit; and (4) failing to address certain postconviction discovery issues. Holm also argues that both his trial and postconviction attorneys were ineffective, and that the circuit court erred by denying his postconviction motion without a hearing. We reject Holm’s arguments and affirm.

Affirmed.
