Criminal Procedure
Ineffective assistance

In 2005, a jury found Dexter Williams guilty of possession of a firearm by a felon, maintaining a drug-trafficking place, as party to a crime, and possession of cocaine with intent to deliver, as party to a crime. See Wis. Stat. §§ 941.29(2)(a), 961.42(1), 961.41(1)(cm)2., and 939.05. We affirmed the judgment of conviction on direct appeal. See State v. Williams, No. 2005AP2783-CR, unpublished slip op. (WI App June 27, 2006). In 2009, Williams filed a Wis. Stat. § 974.06 motion for postconviction relief, claiming that his trial and postconviction lawyers were ineffective. The circuit court denied Williams’s motion without a hearing. Williams appeals; we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
