Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Floyd County, Christopher Foy, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Potterfield and Doyle, JJ. Opinion by Doyle, J. (5 pages)
John Lusk appeals the denial of his application for postconviction relief, for the first time raising claims that his postconviction-relief counsel provided ineffective assistance. OPINION HOLDS: Lusk’s complaints concerning postconviction counsel do not rise to the level of structural error. In order to resolve questions concerning the performance of his postconviction counsel, Lusk must file a separate application for postconviction relief promptly following this appeal.
