042071P.pdf 08/17/2005 Tony Armstrong v. State of Iowa
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 04-2071
Southern District of Iowa
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Riley and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - habeas. Because both a belated appeal and a successive
post-conviction petition are barred under Iowa law, Armstrong has no
available non-futile state court remedy, and the district court did not err in
dismissing with prejudice his procedurally defaulted federal claims.
