Description
1 Antoine Nelson appeals from a post-conviction order denying his motion for a new trial, alleging the ineffective assistance of post-conviction/appellate counsel for failing to raise trial counsels ineffectiveness. The issue is whether Nelsons assertion in a no-merit response that "I dont know how to respond to a no merit report because I am not good with the law," along with his post-conviction claims of ineffective assistance constitute a sufficient reason to overcome the procedural bar of State v. Tillman, 2005 WI App 71, 25-27, 281 Wis. 2d 157, 696 N.W.2d 574. We conclude that the no-merit procedure accommodates appellants who are unschooled in the law, and therefore, that reason, along with the claimed ineffectiveness of counsel, is not sufficient to overcome Tillmans procedural bar, which we conclude is otherwise applicable to this appeal. Therefore, we affirm.
