Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Carol S. Egly, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., Mullins, J., and Carr, S.J. Opinion by Carr, S.J. (3 pages)
James Montgomery appeals his conviction and sentence after pleading guilty to an aggravated-misdemeanor charge of eluding. OPINION HOLDS: Because a review of the entire record before the district court at the time of the plea hearing provides an objective factual basis for the plea, counsel did not breach a duty in allowing Montgomery to plead guilty.
