Criminal Procedure — successive appeals

Reggie L. Townsend, pro se, appeals the circuit court’s order denying his motion for postconviction relief under Wis. Stat. § 974.06 (2009-10).[1] He argues that the circuit court misused its discretion in denying his motion for a hearing on his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel and in denying his motion to withdraw his guilty plea. We conclude that these claims are procedurally barred. See State v. Escalona-Naranjo, 185 Wis. 2d 168, 185, 517 N.W.2d 157 (1994). Therefore, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
