1Opinion of the Court

ROBERTS, J.,

for the Court:

¶ 1. William Antonio Avery appeals the summary dismissal of his post-conviction-relief (PCR) motion by the Lauderdale County Circuit Court. On appeal, Avery argues that the circuit court’s dismissal of his PCR motion was error. Avery claims that he received ineffective assistance of counsel prior to and' during his guilty plea.
