   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Chief Judge Riley and Smith, Circuit 
   Judges] 
  . Habeas Case - State Habeas. District court did not err in denying claims 
   of ineffective assistance of counsel relating to counsel's failure to 
   object to two jury instructions. The jury instruction relating to his 
   justification defense, although an incorrect statement of Iowa law, the 
   instruction was not prejudicial in light of the overwhelming evidence 
   against Shelton; the adjudication of the claim by the state appellate 
   court was not based on an unreasonable determination of facts and the 
   determination under Strickland was not unreasonable; neither was the error 
   a structural error. The state's decision that counsel's failure to object 
   to a misstatement in jury instruction No. 27 was not prejudicial was also 
   not unreasonable. Habeas relief will not be granted on the accumulation of 
   attorney errors. Denial of habeas is affirmed.
