Heading: the district court's dismissal of mr. allen's petition for relief was proper because the district court's holdings were reasonably supported by the record

Text: ¶ 19 The district court's dismissal of Mr. Allen's ineffective assistance of appellate counsel claim was appropriate because there was adequate support in the record for the district court's holding that the claim was too vague and speculative. Similarly, the district court did not err when it dismissed a majority of Mr. Allen's claims because they were procedurally barred. There was also reasonable basis in the record to support the district court's holding on that issue. Although Mr. Allen's opening brief does not address the district court's holdings that it was proper to deny the juror's request for transcripts of witnesses' testimony and that a juror's affidavit regarding jury deliberations should be stricken, these holdings were also supported by the record.
