Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Boone County, John R. Flynn, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Schumacher, P.J., Buller, J., and Potterfield, S.J. Badding, J., takes no part. Opinion by Potterfield, S.J. (9 pages)
Michael Zanoni appeals the district court’s denial of his application for postconviction relief (PCR) following his 2021 Alford guilty plea to possession with intent to deliver (methamphetamine), a class “C” felony. Zanoni argues trial counsel provided ineffective assistance by failing to (1) review video evidence before the suppression hearing and (2) properly advise him of the circumstances of his case when he decided to plead guilty. OPINION HOLDS: Zanoni failed to prove his claims of ineffective assistance; we affirm the denial of his PCR application.
