Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Jeanie Vaudt, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Greer and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, C.J. (7 pages)
Reynolds appeals the denial of his postconviction-relief application from two convictions for lascivious acts with a child. He alleges ineffective assistance of counsel and actual innocence. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the district court’s denial of relief because Reynolds failed to preserve error for his ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claims and he failed to prove actual innocence.
