Criminal Procedure — plea withdrawal — ineffective assistance

Timothy Svea appeals an order denying his Wis. Stat. § 974.06 motion to withdraw his guilty plea. He contends his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to consider or discuss possible defenses. Because Svea’s motion lacked sufficient specificity to establish ineffective assistance of counsel, we affirm the order. This opinion will not be published.
