Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Des Moines County, Michael J. Schilling, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Greer and Badding, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, P.J. (8 pages)
Deandre Goode appeals the denial of his second petition for postconviction relief. He alleges his second PCR trial counsel—much like his criminal and first PCR trial counsels—was ineffective by failing to present Facebook metadata in support of his alibi defense. Because the record isn’t sufficiently developed, Goode asks for a limited remand to develop the evidence or leave to file a third petition. OPINION HOLDS: Neither remedy is available to Goode, so we affirm.
