In 2011, petitioner was resentenced for purposes of appeal. Petitioner appealed the resentencing order on the ground that the circuit court erred in sentencing him to the maximum potential prison term. By memorandum decision, this Court affirmed petitioner's sentence. See State v. Rea, No. 11-1324, 2013 WL 149623 (W.Va. Jan. 14, 2013) (memorandum decision). In January of 2015, petitioner filed the underlying petition for post-conviction habeas corpus relief. Among his grounds, petitioner argued (1) that he received ineffective assistance of trial counsel due to many alleged insufficiencies in his trial counsel's representation (including lack of proper advice); and (2) that the circuit court failed to inform petitioner of the maximum potential consecutive prison term for his crimes, in violation of the requirement in Rule 11 of the West Virginia Rules of Criminal Procedure.
