Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Scott D. Rosenberg, Judge.  CONVICTION AFFIRMED; SENTENCE AFFIRMED IN PART, VACATED IN PART, AND REMANDED.  Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., Ahlers, J., and Danilson, S.J.  Opinion by Danilson, S.J. (11 pages)

            Timothy Leachman appeals his conviction for first-degree burglary.  OPINION HOLDS:  The charge of first-degree burglary did not violate the speedy indictment rule.  Leachman did not show he received ineffective assistance based on defense counsel’s failure to raise a due process claim.  There is substantial evidence in the record to support Leachman’s conviction and his conviction is not contrary to the weight of the evidence.  We affirm Leachman’s conviction.  We vacate the portion of the sentencing order relating to restitution and remand to the district court on this issue.
