Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Jeanie K. Vaudt, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (6 pages)
Abdalla Elehamir Mousa appeals the denial of his application for postconviction relief, contending his trial counsel were ineffective for failing to investigate and call witnesses to testify, failing to properly cross‑examine a key State witness, and requesting a modified jury instruction. OPINION HOLDS: Because Mousa did not establish either of his trial counsel were ineffective, we affirm the denial of his application for postconviction relief.
