Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Lawrence P. McLellan, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Bower, C.J., and Greer and Ahlers, JJ.  Opinion by Bower, C.J.  (6 pages)

            Frederic Ware III alleges his counsel provided ineffective assistance by allowing him to plead guilty when the plea colloquy did not sufficiently advise him of his constitutional rights and counsel did not file a motion in arrest of judgment.  He also alleges a post-sentencing Brady violation.  OPINION HOLDS: We find Ware did not establish counsel provided ineffective assistance, and his Brady violation claim was not preserved.
