GOLDEN, Justice.

[¶ 1] On January 25, 2000, a jury convicted Gerald P. Barkell (Barkell) of two counts of third degree sexual assault in violation of Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 6-2-304(a)(ii) (LexisNexis 2001). On appeal, Barkell challenges his convictions based on the alleged ineffectiveness of his trial counsel. We find that Barkell has not overcome the strong presumption that his counsel rendered adequate assistance and affirm his convictions.
