1Opinion of the Court
BYRNE, District Judge.
The State of Iowa (appellant or State) appeals the district court’s granting of ha-beas corpus relief to Robert W. Odem (appellee or Odem), ordering the State to retry or release him. Odem’s petition for habeas corpus alleged that Odem’s constitutional rights were violated by the State withholding exculpatory evidence and by ineffective assistance of counsel. We reverse the district court’s finding that the State withheld exculpatory evidence and remand to the district court for consideration of the ineffective assistance of counsel issue.
