On July 1, 1994, the appellant filed a Rule 32 petition attacking his conviction and sentence. In his petition, the appellant raised numerous claims of ineffective assistance of trial counsel. The state filed an answer, and on September 14, 1994, the circuit court denied the appellant's petition without holding an evidentiary hearing.
The appellant argues, inter alia, that this cause should be remanded to the circuit court for an evidentiary hearing on his claims of ineffective assistance of counsel. The state agrees.
This case is remanded to the circuit court for that court to conduct an evidentiary hearing, at which the appellant's claims of ineffective counsel will be addressed. The trial court should make written findings on the appellant's claims. Due return should be filed with this court no later than 98 days from the date of this opinion.
