Probation — revocation

Ryon Reese appeals an order denying his petition for a writ of habeas corpus in which he alleged ineffective assistance of counsel at a probation revocation hearing. His probation was revoked based on a finding that he sexually assaulted a child. He argues that his counsel was ineffective in three main respects: (1) deciding not to call the victim to testify at the revocation hearing; (2) calling his former wife, the victim’s mother, to testify without having personally interviewed her; and (3) using his adult daughter rather than a private detective to gather information. Because we conclude that Reese failed to establish deficient performance or prejudice from his counsel’s performance, we affirm the order. This opinion will not be published.
