Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, Bradley J. Harris, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., Doyle and May, JJ.  Opinion by Vaitheswaran, P.J.  (6 pages)

            Tavion Robinson appeals his sentences for second-degree burglary, third-degree burglary, and unauthorized use of a credit card, arguing that (1) the record contains insufficient evidence to corroborate accomplice testimony on the burglary charges and (2) the district court abused its discretion and considered an impermissible factor in sentencing him.  OPINION HOLDS: Because the record contains sufficient evidence to corroborate the accomplice’s testimony, and because the district court provided a sentence with enough original content founded upon valid considerations, we affirm.
