Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, The Honorable Linda M. Fangman, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Greer, P.J., Sandy, J., and Mullins, S.J. Opinion by Mullins, S.J. (5 pages)
Marlon Harris Jr. appeals the denial of his application for postconviction relief, arguing the district court erred in rejecting his claim that trial counsel failed to fully investigate an intoxication defense to Harris’s first-degree robbery charge. OPINION HOLDS: Harris failed to present proof of the existence of any evidence that he complains trial counsel failed to investigate or present at his trial. Because he has failed to show prejudice, we affirm the denial of postconviction relief.
