Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Joseph Seidlin, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Tabor, C.J., and Ahlers and Sandy, JJ.  Opinion by Ahlers, J.  (4 pages)

            A postconviction-relief applicant appeals the denial of his application for postconviction relief, raising two claims.  OPINION HOLDS: The applicant failed to preserve error on his first claim because he did not present it to and secure a ruling from the district court.  As to the applicant’s second claim on appeal, he has not developed any cogent argument or presented any supporting authority.  As a result, the applicant forfeited his second claim.
