Dominick Marcott appeals the denial of his application for postconviction relief following his guilty plea to operating a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent. He contends plea counsel provided ineffective assistance. OPINION HOLDS: Marcott failed to prove counsel breached an essential duty in allowing him to plead guilty, so we affirm the denial of postconviction relief.
