Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance
Roger L. Powell appeals, pro se, from an order denying his Wis. Stat. § 974.06 motion for postconviction relief. Powell claimed that his trial and postconviction lawyers gave him constitutionally deficient representation. See State ex rel Rothering v. McCaughtry, 205 Wis. 2d 675, 682, 556 N.W.2d 136, 139 (Ct. App. 1996) (constitutionally deficient representation of postconviction lawyer may be a sufficient reason for not having previously raised issues). The circuit court denied the motion. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
Dist I, Milwaukee County, Hansher, J., Per Curiam
Attorneys: For Appellant: Powell, Roger L., pro se; For Respondent: Loebel, Karen A., Milwaukee; Probst, Robert, Madison
