Submitted January 23, 1996 —

Decided February 28, 1996.

APPEAL from the Court of Appeals for Lucas County, No. L-82-297.

In September 1982, appellant, Danny Brown, was convicted of aggravated murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. The court of appeals affirmed the conviction and sentence. State v. Brown (Sept. 16, 1983), Lucas App. No. L-82-297, unreported, 1983 WL 6945.

It is agreed that in August 1995, appellant filed an application to reopen his appeal under App.R. 26(B), alleging ineffective assistance of his appellate counsel. In September 1995, the court of appeals denied his application, finding that appellant "failed to show a colorable claim of ineffectiveness of appellate counsel." Appellant appeals that denial to this court.

Anthony G. Pizza, Lucas County Prosecuting Attorney, and Craig T. Pearson, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for appellee.
