Sentencing
Allocution

Maceo Downer appeals from a judgment of conviction, entered upon his guilty plea, and an order denying his postconviction motion for a new sentencing hearing. Downer contends that trial counsel was ineffective when she failed to advise him that sentencing would immediately follow the plea hearing, depriving him of the opportunity to prepare for allocution. The circuit court concluded that there was no prejudice and denied the motion. We agree and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
