Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance

Thomas A. Jahnke appeals the judgment convicting him on his guilty plea to drunk driving as a third timer. See Wis. Stat. § 346.63(1)(a). He also appeals the circuit court’s order denying his motion for postconviction relief without holding an evidentiary hearing. Jahnke contends that the lawyers who represented him when he pled guilty gave him constitutionally ineffective representation because they did not seek dismissal of the drunk-driving charge because of a two-and-one-half year delay between his arrest and the filing of the criminal complaint. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
