Opinion
GRUENDEL, J.
The petitioner, Robert Watson, appeals from the judgment of the habeas court denying his sixth amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus. On appeal, the petitioner claims that the court improperly concluded that (1) identifications of the petitioner introduced at his criminal trial did not deprive him of his right to due process of law and (2) the alleged failures of his trial and appellate counsel did not deprive him of his right to effective assistance of counsel. We affirm the judgment of the habeas court.
