One of three people convicted in a 2007 drug case has filed a civil motion seeking relief from that conviction and sentence.

49-year-old Bryan Frischenmeyer was convicted of attempted unlawful manufacture of methamphetamine, conspiracy to manufacture meth, possession of ephedrine, and possession of methamphetamine. He was sentenced to 156-months, or roughly 13-years in prison.

After getting no relief at the appellate level, he filed what’s called a Habeas Corpus motion. This is a civil filing seeking relief in the case for what he considers unlawful detention, for what he considers the lack of sufficient cause or evidence. He sites ineffective counsel as his reasons for the civil filing.

He complains that his attorney at the time, Greg Barker failed to question the officers suspicion for the traffic stop of Tamara Buckingham. He also alleges that Barker didn’t establish any reason for him to be detained during the search of her vehicle. He also complains that his attorney failed to work to show the contents in the car belonged to Buckingham and not him.

Other filings includes failing to file a motion of discovery, motion in making a timely objection, although doesn’t specify what the objection is, and also complains that Barker didn’t call any witnesses at trial.

The hearing on the civil motion was scheduled for Monday, but his trial attorney is apparently suffering some severe health issues, in fact permanently retired as an attorney last week.

The case centers on the traffic stop of a vehicle belonging to Tamara Buckingham after she was allegedly driving erratic at 69th & Plum. That also led to the arrest of her, Frischenmeyer, and a third man Jeffrey West. That was back on August 25, 2007.

The hearing for the civil filing has been continued until sometime in April.
