Criminal Procedure — successive appeals

Marlin A. Dixon, pro se, appeals from an order denying his Wis. Stat. § 974.06 (2009-10) motion for postconviction relief and from an order denying his motion for reconsideration. He argues that his postconviction counsel provided ineffective assistance when he did not allege that trial counsel and the trial court erred when they did not raise the issue of Dixon’s competency during the proceedings. Dixon also contends that he is entitled to a new trial in the interest of justice because he was incompetent when he was tried. We reject his arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
