Tracy Fitzgerald Duckworth appeals his conviction and sentence for possession of a controlled substance, punishment for which was enhanced by two prior felony convictions. Appellant brings three points of error claiming: (1) appellant was improperly sentenced for a second-degree felony; (2) he did not have effective assistance of counsel at trial; and (3) Thompson v. State*fn1 violates appellant's due process rights under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments by denying appellant the right to counsel on direct appeal and denies equal protection to indigent defendants under the Fourteenth Amendment. We affirm the trial court's judgment.
