Criminal Procedure — competency

Dezaray Colyer appeals a judgment of conviction entered upon jury verdicts convicting her of substantial battery, two counts of criminal damage to property, one count of bail jumping, two counts of disorderly conduct and one count of throwing or expelling bodily substance. Colyer also appeals an order denying her postconviction motion for a new trial. Colyer argues: (1) she was incompetent to stand trial, particularly to participate in pursuing a plea of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect (NGI); and (2) her trial counsel was ineffective for his handling of issues relating to Colyer’s competency and sanity. We reject these arguments and affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.
