State v. McPhillips

TERNUS, Justice.

Defendant, Duane Paul MePhillips, appeals his convictions of burglary, theft, and robbery. See Iowa Code §§ 711.2, 713.3, 714.1 (1995). He challenges the trial court’s failure to suppress evidence, seized pursuant to a search warrant that MePhillips claims was invalid. MePhillips also contends the evidence is insufficient to sustain his convictions. Finally, he alleges he received ineffective assistance from his trial counsel. Finding no infirmity in the proceedings leading to MePhillips’ convictions, we affirm.
