Criminal Procedure — Confrontation Clause — ineffective assistance

Melvin Deonte Elim appeals from a judgment of conviction entered after a jury found him guilty of possessing a firearm as a person previously adjudicated delinquent for an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult. He also appeals from an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. On appeal, Elim claims the guilty verdict is inconsistent with a not guilty verdict that the jury returned on a companion charge, he was denied the right to confront a witness against him, and his trial counsel was ineffective. We reject his contentions and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
