Anthony L. Walker appeals the post-conviction court's denial of his petition for post-conviction relief, Walker raises six issues, which we consolidate and restate as:

I. Whether Walker waived his freestanding claims of error; and,

II. Whether his trial counsel and appellate counsel were ineffective for failing to argue that he improperly received an enhanced sentence based upon aggravating cireumstances not found by a jury beyond a reasonable doubt in light of Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000).

We affirm. 1
