Criminal Procedure — double jeopardy

Eric Poirier, pro se, appeals a judgment convicting him of six crimes and an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Poirier argues his convictions were multiplicitous and therefore violated his constitutional right to be free from double jeopardy. He also argues the circuit court erred by denying his postconviction motion without a hearing. We conclude Poirier’s double jeopardy argument is procedurally barred. Consequently, the court properly denied his motion without a hearing, and we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
