Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance

In these consolidated appeals, Patrick Erickson challenges judgments convicting him of armed robbery and receiving stolen property, and orders denying his motions for postconviction relief. Erickson makes two arguments on appeal: (1) his attorneys were ineffective for failing to request substitution or recusal when Judge Duket disclosed the mother of one of the robbery victims was the county clerk, whom Judge Duket knew; and (2) he is entitled to withdraw his plea because he was confused about whether the BB gun used in the robbery was a “dangerous weapon.” We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
