Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Story County, Angela L. Doyle, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., Doyle and May, JJ. Opinion by Vaitheswaran, P.J. (5 pages)
Eddie Risdal appeals the district court’s dismissal of his application for postconviction relief, contending “the district court erred by rejecting [his claims] on procedural grounds” and postconviction counsel was ineffective in failing to recast his claims as constitutional issues. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the dismissal of Risdal’s 2018 postconviction-relief application.
