Criminal Procedure
Ineffective assistance
Amancio Reyes-Cruz appeals a judgment convicting him of sexually assaulting his former girlfriend, Yolanda M-P. He also appeals an order denying his postconviction motion. The motion claimed ineffective assistance of counsel because his trial attorney violated discovery rules by failing to supplement his expert witness’s report, resulting in the trial court’s exclusion of some of the expert’s proffered testimony. Because we conclude that Reyes-Cruz failed to establish prejudice from his counsel’s error, we affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.
