Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Pottawattamie County, Gregory W. Steensland, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., Chicchelly, J., and Carr, S.J. Opinion by Carr, S.J. (6 pages)

Dennis Ruppe appeals his convictions for attempted murder, willful injury causing serious injury, assault while displaying a dangerous weapon, and criminal mischief. OPINION HOLDS: We do not address Ruppe’s claim he received ineffective assistance of counsel while the court was polling the jury, as we do not address claims of ineffective assistance in a direct appeal. Ruppe did not file a pretrial objection to the venue and this issue is therefore waived. The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Ruppe’s motion for a new trial. We affirm Ruppe’s convictions.
