Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, George L. Stigler, Judge. WRIT ANNULLED. Considered by Vogel, C.J., and Mullins and Bower, JJ. Opinion by Mullins, J. (5 pages)
Telly Nix appeals the district court’s denial of his application for postconviction relief, which we construe as a motion to correct an illegal sentence. The proper form of review is by a petition for writ of certiorari. We therefore treat Nix’s notice of appeal and appellate briefs as a petition for writ of certiorari, grant the writ, and proceed to the merits of his claims. OPINION HOLDS: We conclude the district court correctly applied the law in this case. We therefore annul the writ.
