Opinion
SCHALLER, J.
The petitioner, Lonnie Walton, appeals from the judgment of the habeas court dismissing his amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus. On appeal, the petitioner claims that his attorney (1) improperly proceeded to trial and sentencing despite being aware of a conflict of interest and (2) failed to provide effective assistance of counsel in several respects, namely, that his attorney failed to file a motion for a bill of particulars, to conduct an adequate investigation and to object to an improper jury instruction.1 We affirm the judgment of the habeas court.
