1Opinion of the Court

CHANDLER, J.,

for the court.

¶ 1. James Earl Robinson filed a motion for post-conviction relief (PCR) that was dismissed by the Circuit Court of Washington County. Aggrieved, Robinson has appealed. He argues that he received ineffective assistance of counsel, that he was denied the right to counsel, and that the trial court failed to transmit the designated record to this Court.

¶ 2. Finding error, we reverse and remand for an evidentiary hearing on the issue of competency of counsel in the matter of Robinson’s potential speedy trial claim. We find that Robinson’s other issues are without merit.
