Facts

Procedural History

• [Not applicable or not found]

Parties' Submissions

• Defendant-Appellant: Argued that the evidence, particularly the Victim's identification, was insufficient to support the convictions for robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery. The Defendant also raised an ineffective assistance of counsel claim due to trial counsel's failure to file a docketing statement but later withdrew this claim.
• Plaintiff-Appellee: Contended that the evidence was sufficient to support the jury's verdict and that the appellate court should not reweigh evidence or second-guess the jury's credibility determinations.

Legal Issues

• Was there sufficient evidence to support the Defendant's convictions for robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery?
• Did the Defendant receive ineffective assistance of counsel due to trial counsel's failure to file a docketing statement?

Disposition

• The Court of Appeals affirmed the convictions for robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.

Reasons

• Per LINDA M. VANZI, Judge (RODERICK T. KENNEDY, Judge and TIMOTHY L. GARCIA, Judge concurring):
  The Court found the evidence sufficient to support the Defendant's convictions, emphasizing that it does not reweigh evidence or second-guess the jury's credibility determinations (paras 2-4). The Court also noted the Defendant's withdrawal of the ineffective assistance of counsel claim related to the failure to file a docketing statement (para 5). The decision to affirm was based on the sufficiency of the evidence and the procedural posture of the ineffective assistance of counsel claim (paras 2-6).
