Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Guthrie County, Thomas P. Murphy, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Mullins and Bower, JJ. Opinion by Mullins, J. (4 pages)
Jonah Chinn appeals his conviction, following a guilty plea, of operating while intoxicated, third offense. He argues his counsel was ineffective in relation to his guilty plea. OPINION HOLDS: We find the record inadequate to consider Chinn’s claim on direct appeal. Consequently, we affirm Chinn’s conviction, but preserve his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel for possible postconviction-relief proceedings.
