Syllabus

The trial court did not err in overruling appellant's motion for a hearing pursuant to Franks v. Delaware, 438 U.S. 154, 98 S.Ct. 2674, 57 L.Ed.2d 667 (1978), to challenge the veracity of allegations in two search-warrant affidavits. Appellant failed to make a substantial threshold showing of false statements or material omissions in the affidavits. The record does not portray ineffective assistance of counsel based on defense counsel's handling of the Franks issue. Judgment affirmed.
