Criminal Procedure
Ineffective assistance
Joseph Arient appeals from a judgment of conviction of two counts of second-degree sexual assault of a child and from an order denying without a hearing his postconviction motion alleging ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Arient argues that his trial counsel was ineffective in six ways and that the trial court erred in rejecting his claim of sleeping jurors and request for a new trial in the interests of justice. Arient also claims that this court must review military medical records inspected in camera by the trial court. We reject his appellate arguments and affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.
