DISSENT

Sherri B. Sullivan, P.J.

Without a doubt, the procedural aspects of this case are unusual. So too is the judgment of the motion court, which is 83 pages in length and considers issues not raised in the amended post-conviction motion. There is, however, nothing particularly unusual about the trial conducted in this case, nor the law governing the prosecution of child molestation cases and claims of ineffective assistance of counsel. Because I find Movant has failed to demonstrate either prong of the Strickland analysis, I respectfully dissent.
