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.
