 98-7094 -- Maxwell v. Maxwell -- 05/25/1999
Maxwell complains his attorney advised him not to testify at trial, stating his former felony convictions would be used against him, without requesting a motion in limine to suppress consideration of the former convictions.
Maxwell has not shown how his failure to testify or his counsel's failure to obtain a motion in limine prejudiced his defense, especially in light of the fact he clearly retained five prior convictions which could be used to enhance his sentence.
Maxwell the benefit of the doubt as to his inability to pay, we believe his appeal meets the appropriate standard; he has established his good faith by presenting some issues that, when construed liberally, are not plainly frivolous.

Maxwell alleged that Montey and Stebbins, who were minors at the time of the accident, were engaged in a speed contest when Montey's vehicle struck Maxwell's, thereby causing Maxwell injury.
The district court granted Stebbins' motion for directed verdict at the close of Maxwell's case in chief, and the jury returned a verdict in favor of Maxwell and against the Monteys in the amount of $250,000.
In reviewing the record the Court noted that because of testimony by Maxwell that she saw headlights in her rearview mirror, that the cars were side by side and quickly approaching, and that Stebbins "whooshed" past her, there was sufficient evidence adduced at trial to support the speed contest instructions.
