James T. Campbell

       Justice

ling to hold a hearing on his motion for new trial, which motion asserted matters of ineffective assistance of counsel, the court’s rulings on appellant’s pretrial motions, appellant’s competency and the voluntariness of his plea, and the failure of due process due to a lack of speedy trial.  Appellant’s counsel has also raised the issue of whether the trial court erred in ruling on the motions of trial counsel to withdraw without a hearing conducted in the presence of appellant.  Thus, it seems that appellate counsel has brought forth on appeal many of the concerns raised by appellant.

For the reasons set forth, we overrule appellant’s motion for a hearing to adduce facts not in the record.
