Michael Jefferson
v.
Iowa District Court for Scott County
Plaintiff, serving a special sentence under Iowa Code section 903B.1 for a conviction of third-degree sexual abuse, sought certiorari review of a district court order denying his motion to correct an illegal sentence. Plaintiff contended the court erred in rejecting his claim that the lifetime sentence constitutes cruel and unusual punishment and in denying his request for the appointment of counsel. The court of appeals annulled the writ. Plaintiff seeks further review.
