Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Fayette County, Richard D. Stochl, Judge. CONVICTION AFFIRMED AND REMANDED. Considered by Bower, C.J., Ahlers, J., and Gamble, S.J. Opinion by Gamble, S.J. (6 pages)
Elmer Scheckel appeals from his Alford plea to third-degree fraudulent practice. OPINION HOLDS: Counsel was not ineffective for allowing Scheckel to enter a plea because sufficient evidence supported the charge. We remand for entry of a nunc pro tunc order to correct a scrivener’s error in the judgment entry.
