Theft — sufficiency of the evidence

Randy Ross appeals an order denying his Wis. Stat. § 974.06 motion for postconviction relief. He also petitions this court for a writ of habeas corpus. Ross claims the attorney who represented him in conjunction with his first postconviction motion and direct appeal was ineffective by failing to raise or adequately develop several arguments regarding ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Ross also argues his sentence on count one — theft of movable property whose value exceeds $5,000 but does not exceed $10,000 — was unlawful because the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to establish the value of the stolen property. We reject Ross’s arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
