Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Mary E. Howes, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and May and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (14 pages)
Ralondo Nelson appeals from denial of his requests for postconviction relief in four underlying criminal cases. OPINION HOLDS: No error was committed by the district court in rejecting Nelson’s claims his counsel was ineffective by failing to cross-examine a witness in one case and by failing to conduct an investigation before he pleaded guilty in three other cases. Therefore, we affirm.
