Criminal Procedure — Confrontation Clause — ineffective assistance

Rudolph D. Powells, pro se, appeals an order of the circuit court that denied his postconviction motion for relief under Wis. Stat. § 974.06 (2011-12) without a hearing. Powells complains that the circuit court violated his right to confrontation by allowing certain testimony at trial and that trial counsel was ineffective for not challenging that testimony or the State’s ballistics expert’s testimony. We conclude that the circuit court properly denied the motion, so we affirm the order. This opinion shall not be published.
