A: What's the question? Whether you are entitled to the appointment of counsel in postconviction proceedings?

No. The Sixth Amendment right to counsel does not extend to postconviction proceedings. However, if a trial court sets your postconviction motion for hearing, the court will often appoint counsel to represent you at the hearing.
