State v. Hernandez-Galarza
Annotate this CaseAppellant pleaded guilty to fraudulent practice in the fourth degree. The district court granted Appellant a deferred judgment and placed him on probation.

The district court summarily denied habeas corpus relief. The court of appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant was not entitled to relief because he failed to comply with the pleading requirements of Iowa Code 663.1(1) and because there were insufficient facts to sustain a writ of habeas corpus.
