Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, Alan Heavens, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Schumacher, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Badding, J. (8 pages)
Jerris Davis Sr. appeals the denial of his application for postconviction relief, which alleged that (1) trial counsel was ineffective for failing to move for a mistrial and to poll the jury because of a heated argument between two jurors during deliberations; and (2) appellate counsel was ineffective for failing “to raise issues other than ineffective assistance of counsel.” OPINION HOLDS: Upon our de novo review of the record, we agree with the district court that Davis failed to prove that his trial counsel and previous appellate counsel provided ineffective assistance.
