Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Patrick R. Grady, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Greer, P.J., and Ahlers and Badding, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (5 pages)
Lundell Buchanan appeals the district court’s dismissal of his application for postconviction relief. On appeal, he argues the district court erred by excluding his telephonic testimony and by finding his trial counsel were not ineffective for failing to file a motion to suppress. OPINION HOLDS: The district court correctly determined Buchanan failed to prove his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance. We affirm the decision.
