Criminal Procedure — new trials — ineffective assistance

A jury found David W. Bishop guilty of second-degree sexual assault of a child and of repeated sexual assault of the same child. Bishop filed a motion for postconviction relief seeking a new trial on the grounds that the trial court erroneously denied his pretrial request for new counsel, that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel at trial, and that a new trial was warranted in the interest of justice. The court denied his motion. We affirm the judgment of conviction and the order denying his postconviction motion. This opinion will not be published.
