Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Lee (North) County, Ty Rogers, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Schumacher and Ahlers, JJ. Per Curiam, J. (9 pages)
L.H. appeals a district court order continuing his civil commitment. He contends counsel was ineffective for failing to move to recuse the judge, failing to object to a periodic report, and failing to adequately challenge his commitment. He also challenges the sufficiency of the evidence. OPINION HOLDS: We find counsel was not ineffective. Sufficient evidence supports L.H.’s continued commitment. We affirm.
