209 Wis.2d 355 (1997)

563 N.W.2d 166

Joseph C. PIERCE, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Ronald K. COLWELL and Colwell Law Office, jointly, severally, and in the alternative, Defendants-Respondents.

Court of Appeals of Wisconsin.

Decided March 5, 1997.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

On behalf of the plaintiff-appellant, the cause was submitted on the briefs of Joseph C. Pierce pro se.

On behalf of the defendants-respondents, the cause was submitted on the brief of Craig A. Kubiak of Liebmann, Conway, Olejniczak & Jerry, S.C. of Green Bay.

Before Snyder, P.J., Nettesheim and Anderson, JJ.

NETTESHEIM, J.

Joseph C. Pierce appeals the summary judgment dismissal of his legal malpractice action against Attorney Ronald K. Colwell. Colwell represented Pierce at sentencing in a prior criminal case. Pierce alleged that Colwell negligently failed to object to the criminal court's "competency" to sentence him because the court had not personally read the information to him at the arraignment. We affirm the summary judgment.
