Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, David Nelmark, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Schumacher, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Badding, J. (14 pages)
Charles Hasselmann appeals the denial of his application for postconviction relief that alleged claims of ineffective assistance of defense counsel and actual innocence. He also raises a new ineffective-assistance claim on appeal. OPINION HOLDS: We find that defense counsel did not breach any essential duties, there is not clear and convincing evidence to support Hasselmann’s actual innocence claim, and there is not a sufficient record for us to review the new postconviction and appellate ineffective-assistance claim. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s decision denying Hasselmann’s application for postconviction relief.
