Criminal Procedure
Ineffective assistance

Gecobea M. Leach appeals the judgments of conviction after revocation of probation and the order denying his motion for resentencing.

Leach argues that he received ineffective assistance of counsel when he was sentenced after revocation; there are new factors warranting sentence modification; the imposition of consecutive sentences was excessive and violated double jeopardy; the court did not consider the sentence it gave to Leach’s codefendant; and he is entitled to be resentenced in the interests of justice. We conclude that Leach was not entitled to a hearing on his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, and that we need not address the merits of his remaining arguments because they are inadequately briefed. We affirm the judgments and order of the circuit court. This opinion will not be published.
