Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance

John W. Kaczmarek appeals a judgment of conviction for misdemeanor bail jumping and an order of the circuit court denying his motion for postconviction relief on the grounds that he received ineffective assistance of counsel in multiple respects from his counsel in connection with his bail-jumping trial. I conclude that, in each instance, Kaczmarek fails to show that the conduct of his counsel either constituted deficient performance or, assuming deficient performance, resulted in prejudice. Thus, I affirm the judgment and the decision denying Kaczmarek’s motion for postconviction relief. This opinion will not be published.
