OWI; ineffective assistance; prior convictions
Andrejs Sics appeals a judgment convicting him of operating while intoxicated, fifth offense, and an order denying postconviction relief. Sics claims his trial counsel was ineffective. He argues counsel improperly failed to collaterally attack a prior OWI conviction because he did not validly waive his right to counsel when he entered a pro se plea to that charge. We reject Sics’ arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
