Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Mark Fowler, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., Chicchelly, J., and Potterfield, S.J. Buller, J., takes no part. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (4 pages)
Troy Williams appeals the order granting summary dismissal of his second application for postconviction relief. OPINION HOLDS: Because the Iowa Supreme Court affirmed the denial of Williams’s first PCR application on the merits, Williams is precluded from relitigating those claims here. His PCR counsel was not ineffective by failing to raise a meritless claim. We therefore affirm.
