Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Scott D. Rosenberg, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., Vaitheswaran, J., and Danilson, S.J. Opinion by Danilson, S.J. (10 pages)
Michael Lajeunesse appeals the dismissal of his second application for postconviction relief (PCR). He argues the court erred in finding his claims of ineffective assistance of criminal trial counsel were procedurally barred by Iowa Code section 822.8 (2019). OPINION HOLDS: We conclude the claims Lajeunesse pinpoints in this appeal were procedurally barred. We affirm the dismissal of Lajeunesse’s second PCR application.
