Opinion
SPEAR, J.
The petitioner, Luz Henry, appeals from the judgment of the habeas court dismissing her petition for a writ of habeas corpus in which she alleged ineffective assistance of counsel. She claims that the dismissal was improper because trial counsel failed (1) to investigate the petitioner’s mental history, (2) to obtain an expert to review the petitioner’s mental health records and (3) to interview codefendants who would have provided exculpatory statements. We affirm the judgment of the habeas court.
