Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, The Honorable Mark D. Fisher, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Greer, P.J., and Schumacher and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (9 pages).
Aaron Secor appeals the denial of his application for postconviction relief, asserting the district court erred in finding that trial counsel was not ineffective by failure to move for a mistrial and not filing motions in arrest of judgment or for new trial, and that appellate counsel was not ineffective by raising a single unpreserved claim on direct appeal. OPINION HOLDS: Upon our review, we affirm.
