Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, David P. Odekirk, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., Greer, J., and Doyle, S.J. Buller, J., takes no part. Opinion by Greer, J. (10 pages)
Jamodd Sallis appeals his conviction of sexual abuse in the third degree, enhanced as a habitual offender. He claims the district court erred by denying him the right to counsel by failing to appoint him new counsel or inquire into the breakdown in his attorney-client relationship. OPINION HOLDS: Because the district court dedicated significant time inquiring into the relationship breakdown and Sallis never requested substitute counsel, we affirm.
