Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Valerie L. Clay, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Greer, P.J., and Langholz and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Langholz, J. (3 pages)
Dorian Parkinson II appeals the denial of postconviction relief from his convictions for domestic abuse assault causing bodily injury by strangulation, domestic abuse assault causing bodily injury, and interference with official acts. He argues that he received ineffective assistance of counsel from his defense counsel relating to his guilty plea. OPINION HOLDS: On our de novo review, we agree with the district court that Parkinson has failed to prove that his counsel breached an essential duty. We thus affirm with a memorandum opinion under Iowa Court Rule 21.26.
