Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dubuque County, Monica L. Zrinyi Wittig, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and May and Greer, JJ. Opinion by Greer, J. (4 pages)
Jacob Schmitz challenges the sentences imposed by the district court. He maintains the circumstances did not warrant the consecutive terms of incarceration ordered by the court. OPINION HOLDS: Recognizing that the court imposed a sentence within its discretion and that Schmitz has not established the court relied on an improper factor or consideration to do so, we find the district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Schmitz to consecutive terms of prison. We affirm.
