Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, David N. May, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Danilson, C.J., and Vogel and Tabor, JJ. Opinion by Vogel, J. (6 pages)
Ashley Rathjen appeals her convictions for two counts of possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) with intent to deliver, as a subsequent offender. She argues her trial counsel was ineffective for allowing her to plead guilty after denial of her motion to dismiss and for failing to file a motion in arrest of judgment to preserve her challenge to her guilty plea. OPINION HOLDS: We find the record inadequate to address her claims. Therefore, we affirm her convictions and preserve her claims for possible postconviciton proceedings.
