Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, Melissa Anderson-Seeber, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Schumacher, P.J. and Ahlers and Badding, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, P.J. (6 pages)
An applicant appeals the district court’s denial of his application for postconviction relief (PCR) following 2011 convictions for possession with intent to deliver (cocaine), failure to affix a drug tax stamp, disarming a police officer, and interference with official acts. He claims his trial counsel was ineffective in failing to call a material witness and failing to subpoena a mental-health professional with sufficient time for the mental-health professional to prepare and effectively testify. OPINION HOLDS: Because the applicant did not establish prejudice, his ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claims fail. Accordingly, we affirm.
