Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Heather Lauber, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Doyle, P.J., and Mullins and Greer, JJ. Opinion by Greer, J. (8 pages)
Ary appeals the denial of his postconviction-relief (PCR) application. He argues he was provided ineffective assistance of counsel based on his trial counsel’s failure to complete discovery and trial counsel’s handling of jury voire dire. OPINION HOLDS: Ary has not shown prejudice resulted from trial counsel’s failure to complete discovery. He also did not meet his burden to prove ineffective assistance of counsel with respect to the jury-selection allegations. Thus, we affirm the denial of Ary’s PCR application.
