1Opinion of the Court
McFADDEN, Judge.
After a jury trial, Larry Foster was convicted of felony theft by shoplifting, see OCGA § 16-8-14 (b) (1) (C), and sentenced as a recidivist. The trial court denied his motion for new trial. Foster challenges his treatment as a recidivist, but the trial court did not err in considering, for purposes of sentencing, his conviction on a prior offense to which he had pled guilty. He also challenges the effectiveness of his trial counsel, but he has not shown that he was prejudiced by deficiencies in his counsel’s performance. Accordingly, we affirm.
