Syllabus

Application to reopen appeal; App.R. 26(B); genuine issue of a colorable claim of ineffectiveness of appellate counsel; guilty pleas; waiver. Application to reopen appeal pursuant to App.R. 26(B) denied. Appellate counsel was not ineffective for failing to raise alleged issues on appeal that defendant had waived by his guilty pleas. Applicant failed to demonstrate a genuine issue of a colorable claim of ineffectiveness of appellate counsel based on appellate counsel's failure to advance assignments of error related to denial of speedy-trial rights, alleged misidentification of defendant during arraignment, unlawful detention, manipulation and backdating of the trial court docket, and appellate counsel's alleged failure to adequately communicate and consult with defendant before filing appellate brief.
