   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-3417
   Southern District of Iowa   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Wollman and Arnold, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law. Evidence was sufficient to support 
   convictions for making a false statement under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1001 and
   for converting property mortgaged or pledged to a farm credit agency in
   violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec .658; plain error claims with respect to
   evidentiary rulings and instructions rejected; claims of ineffective
   assistance of counsel had been developed by the trial court, and the
   claims would be reviewed on appeal; none of the claims of ineffective
   assistance had merit, and the district court did not err in rejecting 
   them.
