Syllabus

The trial court did not err in denying appellant's petition for postconviction relief without holding an evidentiary hearing as the petition, affidavits submitted in support, and the record of proceedings did not demonstrate sufficient operative facts for a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. Appellant's arguments that the attorney who filed his petition for postconviction relief provided ineffective assistance was without merit as the right to effective assistance of counsel guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment does not extend to state postconviction relief proceedings.
