Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance

Robert J. Madison appeals from a judgment of conviction and an order denying postconviction relief. He contends that the circuit court erred in denying his postconviction motions challenging the effectiveness of trial counsel without an evidentiary hearing. We conclude that the circuit court properly denied Madison’s motions because they presented only conclusory allegations and failed to allege sufficient facts that, if proven true, would entitle Madison to relief. Therefore, we affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.
