Criminal Procedure
Ineffective assistance

Michael Steven Petersdorff appeals from a judgment of conviction on one count of first-degree sexual assault of a child. Petersdorff also appeals from an order denying his motion for resentencing or, in the alternative, for a Machner hearing regarding trial counsel’s effectiveness. Petersdorff contends he was sentenced on inaccurate information regarding his acceptance of responsibility and his risk of re-offense, or that trial counsel was ineffective for failing to offer the circuit court sufficient information on those two topics. We reject Petersdorff’s contentions and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
