Date Published:

Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Scott J. Beattie, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered without oral argument by Langholz, P.J., Sandy, J., and Doyle, S.J.  Opinion by Doyle, S.J.  (4 pages) 

            Ceeron Williams appeals the denial of his application for postconviction relief (PCR) from his convictions for assault with the intent to inflict serious injury, intimidation with a dangerous weapon with intent, and willful injury causing serious injury.  OPINION HOLDS: We agree with the PCR court that Williams failed to establish that his trial counsel breached an essential duty and failed to show prejudice resulted from any of the claimed breaches.  Because we cannot provide any better reasoning or analysis than that found in the PCR court’s well-reasoned order, we affirm with this memorandum opinion.  See Iowa Ct. R. 21.26(1)(d), (e).
