Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Joseph Seidlin, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Ahlers and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Bower, C.J. (8 pages)
Kenneth Raphael Moore appeals the denial of his application for postconviction relief, contending plea counsel were constitutionally ineffective, thus entitling him to a new trial. OPINION HOLDS: Because Moore failed to prove either a breach of essential duty or the requisite prejudice, his ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claims fail. We affirm.
