Text: ถ 45 Was Johnston denied effective assistance of counsel in his revocation proceedings? ถ 46 Johnston claims that he was denied effective assistance of counsel. Johnston rests his ineffective assistance of counsel allegation wholly on the following assertion: Here, it is apparent from the record and the proceedings that Johnston had substantial issues to raise before the Court. None of the issues were raised. We find no evidence in the record, or in Johnston's arguments on appeal, however, that the result of the December 20, 2001, revocation proceeding would have been different had the issues raised in this appeal been raised in the revocation proceeding. State v. Kougl, 2004 MT 243, ถ 11, 323 Mont. 6, ถ 11, 97 P.3d 1095, ถ 11. We conclude that the District Court properly dismissed Johnston's Motion to Set Aside Revocation and Petition for Post-conviction Relief. ถ 47 Affirmed. We Concur: W. WILLIAM LEAPHART, JOHN WARNER and PATRICIA COTTER, JJ.
