Criminal Procedure — plea withdrawal — ineffective assistance

Iven Lee Caldwell appeals from an amended judgment of conviction, entered upon his no-contest plea, on one count of first-degree intentional homicide. He also appeals from an order denying his most recent postconviction motion to withdraw his plea and have a new trial. Caldwell contends that his trial, original postconviction, and resentencing attorneys were all ineffective and that the circuit courts erred in refusing to allow him to withdraw his plea prior to sentencing. We conclude that the circuit courts properly exercised their discretion in refusing the withdrawal requests and that the attorneys were not ineffective. Therefore, we affirm the judgment and order. This opinion shall not be published.
