Opinion
FLYNN, J.
The petitioner, Edward Vines, appeals following the denial of his petition for certification to appeal from the judgment denying his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. He claims that the habeas court (1) abused its discretion when it denied his petition for certification to appeal and (2) improperly determined that trial counsel provided effective assistance despite his simultaneous representation of a potential witness and the petitioner, and despite his failure to investigate and call that witness to testify. We dismiss the appeal.
