Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Wapello County, Greg Milani, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, C.J., Chicchelly, J., and Vogel, S.J. Opinion by Vogel, S.J. (8 pages)
An applicant appeals the denial of postconviction relief from his incest, lascivious conduct with a minor, and third-degree sexual abuse convictions. OPINION HOLDS: Because all of the applicant’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel stem from counsel’s reasoned, strategic decisions, counsel did not breach any duty and we affirm the denial of postconviction relief.
