Criminal Procedure
Ineffective assistance

William Ward appeals an order denying his WIS. STAT. § 974.06 motion in which he alleged ineffective assistance of both his trial counsel, Wayne Fulleylove-Krause, and his postconviction and appellate counsel, Chris Gramstrup. The motion alleged that Ward’s attorneys failed to cite federal cases when arguing that Ward was denied a fair trial by a witness’s improper reference to a drive-by shooting. The motion also alleged that Fulleylove-Krause, in his closing argument, failed to mention that the police did not find any marijuana when they searched Ward and his property. Because we conclude that the motion was procedurally barred and meritless, we affirm the order. This opinion will not be published.
