Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Clinton County, Patrick A. McElyea, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered without oral argument by Greer, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ.  Opinion by Greer, P.J.  (11 pages)

            Trevon Lucas filed a petition for postconviction relief, alleging that his criminal trial counsel was ineffective and that he was actually innocent.  OPINION HOLDS: Because we find trial counsel performed competently and the evidence on the record does not supply clear proof that Lucas is actually innocent, we affirm his convictions.
