Summary

Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dubuque County, Monica Zrinyi Ackley, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Schumacher and Chicchelly, JJ.  Opinion by Schumacher, J.  (7 pages)

            Michael Fangman appeals his conviction for sexual abuse in the third degree.  He contends his counsel was ineffective.  He also claims insufficient evidence supports the conviction.  OPINION HOLDS: We cannot consider Fangman’s claims of ineffective assistance as those claims must be brought in a postconviction-relief action.  We find the conviction was supported by substantial evidence.
