State of Iowa v. Michael James Kout

BOWER, ⅛.

Michael James Kout appeals his conviction for lascivious acts with a child. He claims the district court violated his equal protection rights by refusing to give him credit for time served during his supervised pretrial release. Kout also claims he received ineffective assistance of counsel.

We preserve his ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claims for postconviction relief. We affirm.
