Syllabus

In a reopened appeal, appellant did not receive ineffective assistance of appellate counsel resulting from his appellate counsel's failure to challenge his conviction to third-degree felony failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer where appellant, who failed to object to the verdict form used by the jury at the trial court level, did not establish plain error given the evidence presented at trial clearly established the additional enhancing elements necessary to raise the offense from a misdemeanor of the first degree to a felony of the third degree.
