Imel v. State

OPINION

BAKER, Judge.

Appellant-petitioner Kevin J. Imel appeals from the denial of his petition for post-conviction relief, claiming ineffective assistance of appellate counsel. Specifically, Imel argues that his appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to challenge both the trial court's and the State's references to him as a violent felon during trial, along with references to his prior conviction for burglary. Concluding that Imel has failed to show that his appellate counsel was ineffective on this basis, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
