Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Celene Gogerty, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., and Chicchelly and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, P.J. (6 pages)
Christopher Nall appeals the district court’s denial of his request for postconviction relief regarding his convictions for eluding and harassment. He claimed he received ineffective assistance because defense counsel permitted him to plead guilty when his pleas were not knowing and voluntary. OPINION HOLDS: We conclude Nall has not shown counsel’s performance was deficient or that he was prejudiced by counsel’s performance. We affirm the decision of the district court.
