Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Mary Chicchelly, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Greer and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Greer, J. (4 pages)
Earl Travis challenges the sentence imposed after he pled guilty to one count of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance (cocaine), a class “C” felony. He claims the court abused its discretion in imposing his sentence. OPINION HOLDS: The court sentenced Travis to a sentence within its discretion and provided reasons on the record for the sentence it imposed. The sentence imposed satisfied the court’s interest in rehabilitation. Travis failed to show an abuse of discretion. We affirm.
