Heading: Defendant's Ineffective-Assistance-of-Counsel Claim.

Text: As a final matter, we consider defendant's claim that his trial counsel was ineffective. This argument is predicated upon defense counsel's failure to object to misstatements of fact made in the prosecutor's closing argument or to correct those misstatements during defendant's own closing argument. At issue is how certain witnesses testified concerning defendant's presence at the scene of the shooting. Although it appears that the prosecutor may have misstated the testimony of at least one witness, this inaccuracy was not of a magnitude calculated to work substantial prejudice to defendant. We are unable to conclude that defendant has shown either a substantial breach of duty or the requisite prejudice in his counsel's failure to more diligently pursue this issue. We have considered all issues presented and find no basis for reversing defendant's convictions. The judgment of the district court is affirmed. AFFIRMED.
