Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance

Michael Mario Miller, Jr., pro se, appeals the order denying his motion for postconviction relief pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 974.06 (2011-12). He argues his trial counsel and postconviction counsel were ineffective for failing to challenge the admissibility of his inculpatory statement on Sixth Amendment grounds. Additionally, he asserts his postconviction counsel was ineffective for failing to adequately argue that Miller’s statement should have been suppressed as a result of a warrantless search. We affirm, albeit based on reasoning that differs from that offered by the postconviction court. This opinion shall not be published.
