Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance — showup identifications

Richard Hollenbeck appeals a judgment convicting him of armed robbery and an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Hollenbeck contends his trial attorney was ineffective for failing to seek suppression of a witness’s testimony identifying Hollenbeck as the perpetrator. He argues the witness’s initial identification of him, which occurred during the preliminary hearing, was the product of an unnecessary and impermissibly suggestive showup. Hollenbeck also contends he is entitled to a new trial in the interest of justice. We reject Hollenbeck’s arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
