Considered by Vogel, P.J., and Zimmer and Vaitheswaran, JJ.
In 2003, Raines appeared in court and pled guilty to two counts of third-degree sexual abuse. Pursuant to the terms of a plea agreement, the district court sentenced Raines to two terms of imprisonment not to exceed ten years, to be served consecutively. Raines filed a direct appeal, which our supreme court dismissed as frivolous. Later, Raines filed an application for postconviction relief. The postconviction court granted the State's motion for summary disposition and dismissed Raines's application. Raines then filed this appeal. After careful review of the record, we conclude the district court's decision should be affirmed without opinion pursuant to Iowa Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.24(1) and (4).
