013990P.pdf   10/22/2002  Linda J. Hook  v.  State of Iowa
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  01-3990
   Southern District of Iowa   
   Habeas case - ineffective assistance of counsel. District court's 
   denial of habeas relief based on claim counsel was ineffective 
   for allowing the introduction of evidence pertaining to 
   defendant's invocation of the right to remain silent and speak 
   with an attorney is affirmed. Defendant failed to 
   demonstrate prejudice and the state court's decision was 
   neither contrary to nor involved in an unreasonable application 
   of clearly established federal law.
