Sexually Violent Persons — ineffective assistance

John Bradley appeals a judgment committing him as a sexually violent person and an order denying his postdisposition motion, in which he alleged ineffective assistance of trial counsel.  Bradley contends his counsel was ineffective for failing to object to hearsay consisting of quotes attributed to two confidential informants whose accusations led to a Department of Corrections (DOC) conduct report against him.  Because we conclude that Bradley established neither deficient performance nor prejudice from his counsel’s failure to object, we affirm the judgment and order.
