Criminal Procedure — plea withdrawal — ineffective assistance

Lawrence Holmes appeals judgments of conviction for felony stalking (as a repeater) and misdemeanor victim intimidation, as well as an order denying his postconviction motion for plea withdrawal. Holmes sought to withdraw his pleas based on the alleged ineffectiveness of his trial counsel for failing to pursue a motion to dismiss misdemeanor charges filed against him, including the misdemeanor charge to which he pled. We conclude that Holmes failed to demonstrate that he suffered any prejudice and, therefore, affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
