Criminal Procedure – ineffective assistance

APPEAL from an order of the circuit court for Milwaukee County: DENNIS P. MORONEY, Judge. Affirmed.

Andrew Craig Moore, pro se, appeals an order denying his collateral postconviction challenge to a judgment convicting him of attempted robbery with threat of force, as a party to a crime, first-degree recklessly endangering safety and felon in possession of a firearm. Moore argues: (1) that his trial lawyer ineffectively represented him by waiving his appearance during some of the circuit court hearings and by plotting against him; (2) that he should be allowed to withdraw his guilty plea because he was not aware that his trial lawyer had been threatened and lied to by the prosecutor during a hearing at which he was not present; and (3) that his appellate lawyer ineffectively represented him by filing a no-merit appeal rather than arguing on appeal that he received ineffective assistance of trial counsel.

DISTRICT I; Milwaukee County; DENNIS P. MORONEY; Curley, P.J., Kessler, Brennan, JJ.
