Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Story County, Amy M. Moore, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Greer and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Bower, C.J. (8 pages)
Atiba Spellman appeals the grant of summary judgment and dismissal of his application for postconviction relief (PCR). Spellman contends the court should not have granted the State’s motion for summary judgment and dismiss his application for PCR and his PCR counsel was ineffective for failing to “timely depose trial counsel.” OPINION HOLDS: Upon our review, we affirm.
