Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Webster County, Thomas J. Bice, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vogel, P.J., and Vaitheswaran and McDonald, JJ. Opinion by McDonald, J. (5 pages)
Knight appeals from the denial of his petition for writ of mandamus and petition for writ of habeas corpus.

Habeas relief is not available to Knight because he was convicted of a public offense.
