The circuit court dismissed this claim, finding that "Scheuing raised the issue underlying this ineffectiveness claim on direct appeal, and the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals held that 'Scheuing has failed to establish that a violation of his right to a speedy trial occurred, much less that the circuit court committed plain error by failing to notice one.'
